If you're still running HPUX 10.x, I'm guessing that it's also an older machine? It's probably not a memory issue, since SQL*Plus won't store the 38K rows in memory. There's some memory use, but it's more for buffering.
On your HP box, fire up "top" in another window while re-running that query. Is SQL*Plus at the top and/or your CPU at 100%? Just a guess that your Winders client is just beefier than the HP...
