My bad. If I'd been paying attention I might have mentioned chatr.
FYI: Its not necessary on 64 bit HP-UX. What class of server are you
running the 32 bit on? Most servers since the HP 9000 K400 have PA-RISC
2.x processors. PA-RISC 2.x are all capable of running the 64 bit
version of 11.11.

Errors with Allocation Error 10 - Solution?
Thanks for reporting this, I probably will never use this information,
but
it sounds very useful, esp. very interesting, the arguments to the
chattr
commands under HP-UX.
Definitely worth saving this e-mail :)
