Hmm. This would seem to indicate a mismatch between the nodeToString
and stringToNode routines (outfuncs.c and readfuncs.c), which is
something we don't normally see unless someone's messed up their build.
Try a full recompile.

You're not using that infamous CONNECT BY patch, are you?

FWIW, I've tested recently on HPUX 11.11 and 11.23, without seeing any
such problems. And we're definitely not broken on 10.20 because I still
use 10.20 on my main development machine. But my bet is that this isn't
an OS issue at all.
