Yes, it's broken.  The problem has been SPR'd, but so far I haven't gotten
any actual fix out of DEC.  Time to call them again, I guess.  If you
really need automatic "passall", the only thing to do is go back to the
Ultrix 3.0 kernel - all the 3.1 utility updates will work fine with the
3.0 kernel (less bug fixes obviously).  Check comp.sys.ultrix for updates.
