It was suggested that I try to run dg_strace. I ran it on one of the failing uv processes. It generated a 1mb file. I can see where it executes "uvsh" and It fails just after the 7th occurance of "RUN APP.PROGS PACKAGE.INS". (The 7th run is just after the string "SPECIAL.EDITOR.SELECT.DATA\OLONG".)
