Jerry - I am working for a customer who is moving to the 64 bit version of Unidata (6.1.13-64). Benchmarking and preliminary load testing has not revealed any issues with the 64 bit implementation. The most significant aspect of the 64 bit port is how shared memory is managed, esp. where you have encountered errno=24 messages in the past (unable to attach a shared memory segment).
As of this writing, we have not encountered any pitfalls. If you would like further information, feel free to contact me off line. Regards, Robert DunnMiller CIO, dmcs, Inc.

Looking at a new HP-4440 with a pair of PA8900 1-ghz processors, a couple of gig of mem, several hundred gb of disk in raid 5 array running HP UX 11.11 (or 11.23, not sure yet).
