Thanks, now we are getting somewhere. The call in db_file.c at line 146 
is free(temp). temp is allocated this way:

   va_start(ap,s);
   retval=vsnprintf(buf,3,s,ap);
   va_end(ap);

   temp=(char*)malloc(retval+2);
   if(temp==NULL){

Since temp is not NULL it probably gets overwritten somewhere. From the 
HP site I gather that vsnprintf was added in HP-UX 10.30. Can you 
confirm that you have indeed a working vsnprintf() on your system? 
(Check the aide config.log file.)

Sincerely,
