I've received one excellent answer. Here it is.

 The "tooltalk" databases(s) is corrupt, and the fix is easy... There
are two ways to do it.

1. Put the workstation in single user mode (initstate 1)
        - for every directory "TT_DB" do
        - rm -f /<path to TT_DB directory>/TT_DB/*
        - delete all the files in the tooltalk database directories with
          the command:
        $ df -k | awk '{if (NR>1) print $6 "/TT_DB/*"}' | xargs rm -f
        - boot to multiuser mode (initstate 3)

-OR-

2. From multi-user stat (initstat 3)
        - comment out the line containing "rpc.ttdbserverd" in
          /etc/inetd.conf
        - issue the command "kill -HUP <pid of inetd process>"
        - kill the rpc.ttdbserverd process
        - delete all the files in the tooltalk database directories with
          the command:
        $ df -kF ufs | awk '{if (NR>1) print $6 "/TT_DB/*"}' | xargs rm -f
        - un-comment the line containing "rpc.ttdbserverd" in
          /etc/inetd.conf
        - issue the command "kill -HUP <pid of inetd process>"
