Well, I have never seen the problems you mention with the standard hp-ux compress. I have decompressed all of the utilities you mention.
In any event, I have placed a gcc compiled version of compress 4.0
in ~ftp/pub on me10.lbl.gov. Just link it to zcat and uncompress.

Also, running both the R3 and R4 X server from hp has been very stable
for me, even with a vast assortment of clients. I have never had it
crash with the frequency you describe. I have been known to leave the
server running for months at a time.
