I don't run HP-UX, but I tracked down the same problem on SCO OS5
and we fixed it in pl1.

Check your port.h for CONFIG_MAXGID. If it is set to 60002, find
out what went wrong with configure.
THe relevent lines are.

    # Select the maximum fax UID.  This value is stored
    # in the GID of files so must be constrained by any
    # system limitations.  The maximum value is used for
    # anonymous logins.  The default value of 60002 comes
    # from NFS/nobody usage on various systems.
    #
    test "$CONFIG_MAXGID" || {
	case $TARGET in
	*-sco*)		CONFIG_MAXGID=60000;;
	*-hpux*)	CONFIG_MAXGID=60000;;
	*)		CONFIG_MAXGID=60002;;	# default
	esac
    }
