Sounds like the SL corruption problem as pointed out by our friends at Adager.

According to one of notes from Patrick Mullen of Adager, which follows:

<<.....
<<Previously, when our users have experienced this problem, the
<<HPRC has provided them with instructions/patch to re-octcomp
<<their system's SL.

<<How to detect the problem:
<<logon as manager.sys
<<:debug
<<cm
<<var foo cmtonmnode (mpefiletype + %27)
<<nm
<<dc foo, 7
<<You'll see something like the following (I flagged the
<<bad instructions with "-->"):
<<TRANS $22.1f66194
<<01f66194 MPEFILETYPE+%27 4b7d0028 LDW 20(sr0,r27),r29
<<01f66198 d06c1fc1 EXTRS r3,30,31,r12
<<01f6619c d3bd1fc1 EXTRS r29,30,31,r29
<<--> 01f661a0 d4dd0a10 ZDEP r29,15,16,r6
<<--> 01f661a4 d58c0a10 ZDEP r12,15,16,r12
<<--> 01f661a8 0986d406 SUB,NSV r6,r12,r6
<<--> 01f661ac e680e5a0 BLE 720(sr7,r20)
<<If you don't see the "SUB,NSV & BLE", then you don't have this
<<problem.

<<If you are affected by this problem, a fix is now available for
<<retranslating your SL.PUB.SYS at:
<<http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/scripts/sloctfix/
<<Please read the INSTALL.txt file, and then download I00STRSL and
<<M00STRSL to your e3000 (if you don't have AUTOPAT laying around,
<<download that file too).
<<Processing the STRSL files with AUTOPAT results in a new CSLT
<<tape with a correctly translated SL.PUB.SYS. Then UPDATE from
<<the new CSLT to install the fixed SL.PUB.SYS.
<<The ultimate fix for this issue is still being worked on, and
<<involves fixing HP's patch tools to behave correctly when
<<translating SL.PUB.SYS.
<<This problem can happen on any version of MPE when the SL octcomp
<<process does not complete successfully and does not get detected
<<by the patch installation program. We have seen it happen also
<<on MPE/iX 7.0.
<<When you report the problem to HP, it may help you to make
<<reference to SR: 8606232211
