I tried to reproduce this on HP's testdrive machines, without success:
it seems to work fine.  "64bits HP system with O/S HPUX11i" is pretty
darn vague, considering that HP supports this OS on two different
architectures and there are multiple subversions of it, but on the whole
I'd bet on a compiler problem.  Is your compiler fully up-to-date with
HP's patches?
