Thank you for all of the replies.
There was no definitive answer and this remains a problem for
me.
1 person said that they saw the same problem and if I found the
answer I should tell them.
2 people said that they have the same setup and no problems.
1 person asked if it was dtpad only or did it affect other
programs. I checked and dtcalc and dtterm caused the same
trouble.
Everyone suggested checking patch levels both on the HP and the
Sun. The ones who said that they had no problems showed me their
patchlists and I tried some different patches to no avail (yet! :-).
1 person suggested looking at HP's website as "... I know that HP
has a document dealing with HP<->Sun interoperability..." but I
could find nothing like this on their website.
We already had a call open with Sun but they said it ain't their
problem and that we needed more documentation (IE, testing) to
prove that it isn't just Sun->HP. I think we've proved that as
no other platform-combination does this.
For now I guess I will open a call with HP and see if they can do
anything for me.
Thanks again for the replies. When/if I get a solution I will
post that.

I don't speak for Goodyear and they don't speak for me. We're both happy.
