I'm not sure if it is relevant (I've never used HP), but on Solaris LD_PRELOAD seems to be used for loading 32-bit libraries while LD_PRELOAD_64 for loading 64-bit libraries

May be on HP it works in similar way and You need to use LD_PRELOAD_64 variable for loading right library (of course it needs to be 64-bit)
