TSM Client for Tru64 Unix v4.1.2.0

The client dsmerror.log of a "failed" client contains these errors:
        ERROR: **llStrP == NULL in InsertSlashHack!
        ANS1074I *** User Abort ***

The 1st occurred 2 nights in a row; however the User Abort
(& client 'failed' event) only occurred the 2nd night.

I searched ADSM.ORG for InsertSlashHack, but found nothing.
Anyone else ever seen this error or know what it is?

-rsvp, thanks
