This is an odd error that is occurring within the lamd when it is trying
to open a client-side TCP socket back up to the lamboot command. It's not
immediately obvious from this error message, but either the socket() or
connect() system calls failed.

I don't have an HP-UX machine to test on, so I can only speculate as to
what the problem is. Some questions:

- Have you ever been able to run LAM on your platform?
- Can you compile/run LAM in 32 bit mode?
- What compilers are you using?
- Do you have any firewalling / port-blocking software installed?
  (lamboot needs to be able to make arbitrary TCP and UDP connections)
- Can you try installing 7.0 instead of 6.5.9? (I doubt it will make much
  difference, but it will be easier to debug since we have officially
  retired the 6.5.x series).
