Many thanks to all who responded, especially Dr. Tom Blinn, from
Digital;
Everyone suspected the console firmware; I reverted from the v3.8
firmware to the v3.7 firmware, and my machine is a happy camper.
I'll "live" with 4.0a for the time being.
I've submitted the update to Dec's support center (and it was passed
to the proper folks at Dec; thanks, Tom); I'll post an updated summary
if there's any information of general interest.
