sysinfo is one of those darling little programs that is available but
technically unsupported. The catch 22 comes when in various documentation HP
suggests you run sysinfo to check something or other but will not support
you if something goes wrong.

That said, sysinfo in the past was notorious for crashing loaded,
multi-processor systems when "all", "mem", "module" or "cpu" commands were
called. Been there, done that. AFAIK, this is still a potential problem. It
also had the nasty habit of breaking mirrors in a Mirror/iX environment
though I believe that has been fixed.
