The signal 11 is obviously a Segmentation Fault, which is a sofware
defect that should be reported to Tivoli Support for resolution.
Looks like it is doing password lookups at the time.  It might be
the case it is being thrown off by files in the file system having
a UID but no corresponding user in the passwd file, as is common
when usernames are retired from the passwd file but not all their
files are addressed, to reassign them.  You might want to run the
'find' command with the -nouser option and see if there are any
such files, to supplement the problem resolution with that info.
