Just a thought Burton,
Did you check to make sure there are no oninit processes hung out there ?
ps -ef |grep oninit,
also ipcs make sure no shm segments are hung.
As a last resort, you may also try rebooting the box.

Are the permissions on your disk chunks OK? Are they the same names as
before? Are your Informix binary and library permissions correct? Is your
/etc/services still kosher (or halaal or whatever)?

I went to the airport to check in and they asked what I did because I
looked like a terrorist. I said I was a comedian. They said, "Say
something funny then." I told them I had just graduated from flying
