Thanks for reporting this. All these failures seem to be due to a
portability problem in lib/closeout.c. Could you please run, say, cp

Seems fclose (stdout) isn't returning an error in this case.
Ouch. I suppose one possibility is a bug in the HP-UX C library.
Another is that stdout

Regarding this one,

it's because HP-UX's exec-family functions are not POSIX conforming.
