How did you configure the LAT ports?  Do you use /etc/printcap to specify
the terminal server and port?  Or do you that via lcp -h?  Is this VAX or RISC?
What type of terminal server?  What version?

The patch was supposed to fix the problem?  Hmmm, that's peculiar.  Once I
get the information above, I can what you what to do once it happens again.
Hopefully that will give me enough information to generate a fix.
