1) Hopefully you're working with a SIMH vax from the master branch at https://github.com/simh/simh
2) You should be able to pick a simulator from there and configure it effectively the same configuration as your physical machine (there are many vax simulators that are now provided).

If you can reproduce the failure, I'll track down what is or isn't working.
