  Since the original posting is not present on our system (only the
response from Lon Stowell) I responded by e-mail to the original poster.

  For the benefit of the net :

  If this is the scenario :

- A process has a pending open on the call-in file of a port.
- Another process has an open on the call-out file of the same port.
- The second process terminates abnormally (i.e. is f.e. "kill"-ed).
- DTR on the call-in file is not re-raised, i.e. the pending open will
  never succeed.

then patch "p238" (for the Series 800, problem does not exist on the
300/400) is probably the solution. You can test if p238 will likely
solve your problem by killing-and-restarting the process on the call-in
file. If that re-raises DTR then p238 will probably solve your problem.
  The Service Requests are 5000-516948 and 4700-929398 and are in the
Software Status Bulletin and HP SupportLine.

  Hope this helps.
