Hi Andy,

We think we now know what is happening and how to fix it.

I am guessing that your v8.4 attempt was using binaries from the RPM 
package?

Our thinking is that the v8.4 binaries contained in the tarball would 
work, but the v8.4 binaries in the RPM packages would fail (with respect 
to standard universe restart).  This is because our tarball binaries are 
built with cmake, and our RPM packages are built via rpmbuild calling 
out to cmake.  The issue is rpmbuild sneaks in a bunch of additional and 
undesired compiler flags.  We are working to fix this issue for the 
upcoming HTCondor v8.4.2 release. Follow progress and see details at:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!!

Also, I am always curious how folks are using standard universe... could 
you share a brief description of the sort of jobs (i.e. what 
application, what scientific domain, etc) that are using standard 
universe at Univ of Oklahoma?

best regards
Todd
