Of the responses, there were two which I found useful for solving my

problem.

First

----------------

Run 'trace -p' on the exiting process and through some method which appears

to be "magical" the process will unblock.

Second

----------------

I applied the patch 100225-02 to fix some bugs in the STREAMS drivers.

Thanks again to those who replied,
