Chuck,

How long have you been running 5.1.2 on your server?  When you installed it did 
you build a new product queue?  (Recall that changing from 5.1.1 to 5.1.2 
requires building a new queue.)  We had at least one HP-UX user who installed 
5.1.2 without making a new queue, and his symptom was raging process creation 
like you're experiencing.  That might also explain difficulty in starting the 
LDM.
