bad system call on HP-UX 10.20

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

I'm out of luck --
I've been trying to build GNUpg-1.0.1c and some other versions, but keep
getting "bad system call" errors during "make check":

I use:
gnu make and gcc-2.95.2

I configured GNUpg using:
./configure  --prefix=/users2/local --enable-static-rnd=egd --disable-dev-random --disable-dynload
(since HP-UX has no /dev/random)

The error occurs with or without "-O" in the CFLAGS. In fact, I've built a
debugging version and produced a backtrace:

%> gdb gpg

#4  0x1b3cc in main (argc=0, argv=0x7b03a464) at g10.c:659

So it's that
 err = mlock( p, n );                 
call in line 120 of secmem.c

Oddly, this error only occurs when doing this as root?!
