RE: CA/400 Prestart job ending by itself (QNPSERVR)

You might want to look at the max storage allowed for user profile quser.
We haven't seen this exact problem but have seen similar caused by quser
reaching it's max storage limit.  If the storage used is near the max try
bumping the max up a bit to see if that helps.
