What's really interesting is that the "good" directories all have no parent directories in their hierarchies with lots (over 100 say) directory entries. The "bad" directories all have a parent somewhere along the line with LOTs of directory entries (100s). You can c4gl things in "bad" directories, as long as there's no database code (display "hello world" works just fine). We've got someone checking out possible AIX problems (corrupted file system, running out of inodes, etc). After scanning newgroups and talking to several consultants, it seems like we have a really unique problem, probably (like you said) because of the silliness of running a 13 year old product on a new server/OS. But that part's out of my hands. Thanks..
