I've found that Patch PHSS_38140 causes the same problems for HPUX
11.23 and Veritas Netbackup 6.5.x.
It was part of the September 2008 QPK bundles, and Veritas stopped
working.
We've removed the patch, and Netbackup works again.
FYI,
Dan K

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Warning about HP-UX 11.11 patch PHSS_38154

PHSS_38154 supersedes a bunch of patches listed as being required in the
NetBackup 6.5 release notes.

Unfortunately, it ALSO supersedes PHSS_30968, a patch which "Symantec
recommends that you do not install". They recommend that because if you
do install it, bpbkar on a client being backed up fails (before doing
anything) with the message "aCC runtime: Use of "-mt" must be consistent
during both compilation and linking." (I think this has something to do
with linking with the OS's pthreads library and differences between the
HP and Veritas build chains, but don't quote me on that.)

We're awaiting response from each vendor but, for now, if your HP
Account Advocate suggests you install patch PHSS_38154 on any HP-UX
11.11 system where you run NetBackup (really, any: this affects the
client portion's behavior), don't do it.
