Problems with 5.1B PK4 causing machine to hang

Hello Managers,

I have a collection of Alpha machines - ES40s, AS4100s, and XP1000s - all
running Tru64 5.1B. Before last Friday, there was a mix of patch kit
versions from 2 to 4. Last Friday, I upgraded our build and development
environment from PK3 to PK4. Once I did that, we were no longer able to
build any software, the servers and workstations got into a loop and never
came out. From what I can tell, there was no specific piece of code being
built that was causing the problem (the same code build successfully on PK2
and 3). I also do not think it's the same process each time that hangs it
up, either, but I can't be sure.

I've installed PK4 over PK3 and also installed PK4 on a fresh OS install --
same result. Our config. mgmt software is Clearcase, so all of the makes
and builds are done through that. As a side note, I was able to run
configure and make/build gcc without a problem, so I'm guessing it's not
something in the compiler that's causing this problem.

Has anyone seen problems similar to this or know what's causing the hang
ups or how it can be fixed?

Thanks in advance,
Chad
