my take is to go with Albe's solution.  I'm downloading the cumulative
fixpack for 4.3.3:

http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix433fixes/ml11package.html

If the above fixes the problem with the aix hacks removed, problem
solved.  If it doesn't, then let's face the music and formally drop
support for aix 4.3 for 8.4.  (and, other than that, do nothing).
