flexfax: bad exit status 0x6 from sub-fork

[pucketr@nytimes.com]

I know everyone has probably heard of this... Is there a resolution?

     FaxQueuer[nnnn]: JOB nn: bad exit status 0x6 from sub-fork

HylaFAX:  4.0pl2 (from source, w/gcc 2.8.x patches)
System:   T-600 (9000/893) running HP-UX 10.20
Modem:    PM 14400 FXMT at 9600bps
Software: gcc 2.8.1, tiff 3.4, zlib 1.1.3, gs 5.10

Everything compiled and installed without error.  I've read through the
mailing-list archives and have seen similar reports, but none of the replies
seem to help.  Occurs when running faxgetty or just using faxmodem.

The ps2fax process returns 0 to waitpid in faxQueueApp::runConverter, (and
I've checked this in the code), but the status gets set to 6 by the time it
gets to faxQueueApp::prepareJobDone().

I get the same results building the rjc5 version.

If I hack the status to 0 in prepareJobDone(), the program runs, dials and
connects to the remote fax modem, and does nothing.  The receiving modem
hangs up after a minute or so.  I not concerned about this until I resolve
the first issue as the hack may be causing the second problem :-)

The syslog trace is below.  Any information would be great.
