What exactly do you mean by "HPUX11i" --- it's not even clear whether
you are talking about a PA-RISC or an Intel platform here?  What
compiler are you using, and with what options?  (The output of pg_config
would be helpful.)

FWIW, I checked PG 8.1 before release on 11.23, PA-RISC and IA64 both,
and it passed regression tests in 64-bit builds, so it's not completely
broken on that platform.  The regression tests do use local connections
by default.
