Did you mean bug 604 or 614?  Regardless, both are marked FIXED, and 604 has
been VERIFIED.

Another reason why bugs sometimes do not appear under a debugger is when the
debugger initialized variables.

We don't do much testing under AIX because we don't have easy access to a
box.

An additional approach would be to use some of the assertion stuff in
include/ntp_assert.h and see if you can get something to violate an
assertion.

And if you can shed any light on bugs 135, 309, 598, or 716, that would be
swell, too.
