Thanks to Bruntel Mitchell and Kevin Buterbaugh for ideas.

The problem was caused by cron entries for the sa1 process being ran by root
and sys at the same time. This caused corruption in the /var/sadm/sa/sa??
Files. Sa1 should only be ran by the sys user, and you must use care to
ensure sa1 does not get run twice at any one time.

thanks

I know this question has been asked before, but alas no summary. Any help
would be much appreciated.
