Hi!

First of all, the above one is too old release, which is practically
no longer supported.

The above error is most often caused due to the diferences in OSF
patch levels between your machine and a machine on which the above
binary was built. But now it is no longer possible to tell you what
patch level it is , as this computer has been upgraded.

I would recommend you to upgrade your OSF to 5.1, if you can, and use
our 4.0.16 binary.
