Hi, Managers.
The following message appears on the console during boot of a 2 processor
1200 with 1 Gb memory and freshly installed Tru64Unix 4.0f:
pmap_get_align: Unaligned memory hole found: rpb_cluster[4]
0xffffffffff800e38
Please reset the system to clear any previous memlimit.
It does not seem to make any harm, the machine runs OK. It does not help to
power cycle the machine.
Other members of the list have had the same problem, also with the same kind
of machine. Here is the answer from Eskil Swahn:

However, removing patch 118 seems to be a tiresome affair as some other
patches have to be removed as well. So, as long as the machine otherwise
behaves well (Fortunately only a system test host) I will keep the patch.
Then we'll see....
Thanks to Eskil Swahn, Thomas Strandnæs, Knut Hellebø, Rodrigo Poblete and
