tbtape -s, tbcheck -cI dumping core. Any workarounds?

Fellow Informix'ers, I have this strange problem in which tbtape -s and tbcheck -cI both dump core. I have run other checks on the DB and they seem to return fine. Our application can access and update the data just fine, but backups will not work. I copied the tables on which tbcheck -cI bombs, and recreated the bad indexes, but tbcheck still dumps. I tried dbexport, but that does not complete either. Are there aby workarounds that will give me a reliable backup? We are very nervous at this point, for the lack of a backup. Any and all responses on thie matter greatly appreciated.
