Can anyone offer some advice on this? 
We have an NB master server running on an AIX 4.3.2 box (NB 3.4, patch
J0850645). On this box, jobs get stuck at the end writing stage for no
apparent reason, causing new jobs to queue. We know that the problem is with
the master rather than the clients, as it happens across all our client
platforms. Bouncing the NB daemons on the master will cure it temporarily,
but the problem keeps returning. 

We have discovered that when it happens, the bpdbm and the parent bprd are
missing from the bpps -a output, even though they still exist in the ps -ef
list. 

Any ideas?
