I believe that this is related to snmpd dying when you port scan a box.
Applying
Maintenance Level 7 on AIX 4.3.3 seemed to fix the problem for us.

It appears that IBM's HACMP 4.4 clustering software can be induced to fail
simply by port scanning clustered machines, has anyone come accross this
vulnerability and is there a workaround?
