I found that the issue with the core was due to a missing HPUXPA32
patch on 11.11 machines.  After applying patch PHCO_35743, I did not
get cores any longer.  Here is the description of this patch:

PHCO_35743: ABORT
                ABORT ( SR:8606463292 CR:JAGag19081 )
                Applications using the getipnodebyname(3N) API abort
                with a core when the API is invoked on a system,
                which does not have IPv6 installed.

                ABORT ( SR:8606469657 CR:JAGag24844 )
                When_M_CACHE_OPTS and _M_SBA_OPTS malloc(3C)
                tunables are enabled a NULL pointer may be
                dereferenced during cache retirement. This
                causes the application to core dump.



PHCO_35743:
        ( SR:8606459906 CR:JAGag16006 )
        fwrite(3S) does not set errno to EFBIG on partially
        successful write.

        Resolution:
        Modified the fwrite(3S) code to take care of partial write
        behavior.

        ( SR:8606463292 CR:JAGag19081 )
        getipnodebyname(3N) API  frees the buffer variables without
        first allocating  them. This occurs due to a socket(2N)
        system call failure, on a system that does not have the IPv6
        or IPv4 bundles  installed.

        Resolution:
        getipnodebyname(3N) API has been modified to initialize the
        buffer variables.

        ( SR:8606469657 CR:JAGag24844 )
        When_M_CACHE_OPTS and _M_SBA_OPTS malloc(3C) tunables are
        enabled a NULL pointer may be dereferenced during cache
        retirement. This causes the application to core dump.

        Resolution:
        Checks are added in malloc(3C) so that NULL pointer
        dereference is avoided during thread local cache
        retirement.

Thanks for all your help!
