Yes. Thanks. 3.8.1p1 succcessfully works with my requirement. And I can see
the
"ifndef USE_POSIX_THREADS" definition in the import_environments() function
in auth-pam.c and I suspect this is the key. I am not sure, but yet to get
the complete diff of the source. Thanks again.

I am using HP-UX 11.23 and this code has to be out of AIX or atleast can be
included for HP-UX also. Because, the env variable is being set only if this
code is in place and USE_POSIX_THREADS. So, I believe this is required for
HP-UX.
