This was seen using TERM 6.2.5 on an AIX 4.2 system, which had been upgraded from AIX 3. TERM randomly locked three different ports, requiring a system shutdown to clear them.

It turned out that TERM 6.2.4 was still on the system when TERM 6.2.5 was installed. Removing all versions of TERM and reinstalling only version 6.2.5 fixed the problem.
