What's your disk space situation like, especially /tmp and the /mnt/AIPS
partitions?  This looks suspiciously like a disk-full situation.  

It could also be memory exhaustion; I've seen such things occasionally in
the past (though I don't think on alpha/linux; our only such AXLINUX
machine was decommisioned over a year ago).  Typically they occur in cron
jobs where a lot of compiles were done at once, and redoing the compile
and link on the problematic module (COMLNK $QPGOOP/IMAGR in this case)
interactively will work with no errors.

Hope this helps.
