Bjorn,
9.21TC3 is a fairly old release at this point. Have you considered
migrating to a more current release level? I know that 9.4 received quite a
few HDR fixes.

Hello everybody,
thanx a lot for your replies. I had contact with informix desk and they
told me also that 9.21 isn't a recent release. We'll just try a reboot from
our primary and if it still fails then, we'll go to 9.4.
