I just (literally!) opened up the SR10.3 distribution box I received this
morning ...

Among the many pieces included is an "SR10.3 system software notice" page
(an addendum to the release notes). On the back of this page, there is a
notice that SR10.3 TCP/IP is *not* fully compatible with either SR10.1 or
SR10.2 TCP/IP , and that HP has added a "-c" switch to /etc/tcpd to allow
it to run in networks with pre-SR10.3 nodes.

If TCP/IP doesn't work, NCS doesn't work, and if NCS doesn't work, the registry
daemons, the network license servers, the SR10 printer support (both Apollo
prsvr and Unix lpr stuff) don't work. One of the symptoms of a broken NCS is
an NCS client program which begins to hog the CPU.

I'd check your /etc/rc.local files for a line with 
"/etc/tcpd -c"
on your SR10.3 systems.
