Yep - log a call with veritas - we received an engineering binary that
goes on top of 5.1MP4 and fixed this exact same problem.  Took ages to
track it down - it is a race condition in bpbrm that only affects AIX.

If you get no luck with them email me off the list and I can provide a
veritas reference number.
