This probably ought to be in our HPUX FAQ somewhere. The standard HPUX
10.20 shell does not run the parallel regress script properly --- it
seems to get confused when it has too many open child processes. You
can run the sequential tests OK, or you can run the parallel tests by
using ksh instead of sh. I usually do the parallel tests this way:
make SHELL=/bin/ksh runcheck
