Thanks to everyone who responded to this.  The general consensus (and the
one that solved the problem) was that I should get a comprehensive patch
kit from DEC.  The kit, CSCPAT_4061 (CSCPAT_4060 is available for Ultrix),
contains a number of fixes.  The most important of these was
/usr/shlib/libsecurity.so. 

Problem fixed.  Much thanks.
