Error "v-5-1-307:Unable to start the vxconfigd service" seen after presenting BCVs to Solaris system

Problem

Error message seen when running "vxdisk list" after BCVs had been presented to a system:

VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-684 IPC failure:Configuration daemon is not
accessible.

It transpired that vxconfigd had core dumped.

Error Message

A change to the hostname had been made recently, and the core dump was also seen via this same sequence:

# vxconfigd -k
# vxconfigd -r reset
# vxdctl init <hostname>

vxdctl: Configuration daemon is not accessible
# vxconfigd -k
# vxdctl enable
VxVM vxdctl ERROR V-5-1-307 vxconfigd is not running, cannot enable

# vxconfigd -f -m enable
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

Cause

When running the dbx debugger, the following stack was observed from vxconfigd:
