David, I seem to recall that one of HP's patches caused UV problems with selects, sorts, and so forth. HP's patch labeled PHSS_26945 was responsible. HP would not correct the problem without a reproducible case, which we were unable to provide. However, they did tell us to have users to disable the SBA (small block allocator) using an environment variable. This is done by doing the following: export _M_SBA_OPTS=0:0:0.
If the patch is on your system, this setting, applied before starting UV should resolve it (assuming the issue you have is the same). Regards, LeRoy F.

We have noticed some bizarre behaviour when uvfixfile is running on a select list of dynamic files. We originally copied the 9.4 dynamic files over to the new system using tar. Selecting some of these files and running uvfixfile against this select list works as expected. When we create a new dynamic file under 10.0.16 and run uvfixfile on that file by itself it works as expected. If a 10.0.16 file is the FIRST one in the select list it also works OK. BUT if a 10.0.16 file is other than the first file in the select list, uvfixfile aborts with "Invalid separation of 0x0 encoded in header. Floating point exception." and stops processing the list. Anyone else noticed this peculiarity ? BTW, if uvfixfile reports a problem such as 'file load discrepancy', is it best to run uvfixfile -fix or resize * * * to fix these problems ?
