I don't see anything in your configuration that raises a red flag.  I
also can't reproduce the accvio on a very similar configuration.  I
think we really need to see the stack trace and start looking at
what's under the hood.  If you can reproduce the accvio in miniperl,
the quickest way (without waiting all day to rebuild the entire thing
in debug on your DEC 3000), would be to:

$ mms/macro=__DEBUG__=1 dbgminiperl.exe
$ mcr []dbgminiperl t/run/switches.t

or of course just hack descrip.mms to give you a link/traceback.
Once you know where in the C code the accvio occurs, you can rebuild
that one module in debug, relink miniperl, and watch what's going on
in the VMS debugger.  You can always add one module at a time in a
minute or two if you need others.  This is the approach I use all the
time on older machines where a complete debug build might take a
couple of hours.
