We had some problems with 7.5.3 to begin with when we installed build 514. 
Groups of Oracle clients not finishing properly (hanging).

EMC then released build 531 and few days later build 533. We installed 
NetWorker 7.5.3.1 build 533 and our problems got even worse.

EMC then released a patched version of savegrp.exe build 533. After installing 
that patched savegrp.exe binary we have not had any problems.

NetWorker 7.5.3.1 build 533 with patched savegrp.exe binary seems to be stable 
and good.

Your's looks like Solaris 10, but this is on 9 (SPARC):

# ulimit -a
core file size (blocks)     unlimited
data seg size (kbytes)      unlimited
file size (blocks)          unlimited
open files                  unlimited
pipe size (512 bytes)       10
stack size (kbytes)         8192
cpu time (seconds)          unlimited
max user processes          29995
virtual memory (kbytes)     unlimited

The two groups that were abending had 41 and 25 clients each (not huge) 
and we have a little over 100 clients total. However, the old ulimit 
settings (which I don't recall) were from the original Solaris 8 
installation back in 2003 (Networker 6.1). So, they weren't exactly big.
