A little birdie has a suggestion:

    This has been seen on v8.3 Itanium, too, on EACH AND EVERY
    ONE of <a customer's> 14 OpenVMS systems, but over a YEAR
    ago.

    The fix FOR THIS was the SYS updates from Oct 2011; when we
    installed this set, it was all fixed:

VMS83I_PCSI-V0400.ZIPEXE;1
                            3498/3504    30-SEP-2011 17:29:22.00
VMS83I_SYS-V1800.ZIPEXE;1
                           34108/34112   25-OCT-2011 18:33:14.00
VMS83I_UPDATE-V1500.ZIPEXE;1
                          210783/210784   2-NOV-2011 18:41:10.00

    It can't be said that it's the same issue, but it sure looks
    suspiciously similar.
