I had this happen to me back in 1990. Applied a cume package late in the 
day, and the CPU LED stayed on as solid as the power lite. Like you it was 
a development box, but in the middle of a major project. So I pulled an 
all nighter, scratched the disks, and reinstalled from tape. 

I had a new operator ask me if PTFs cause problems. I explained that no, 
it's normally a very smooth operation, however if it goes badly it can go 
_VERY_ badly. Always do your backups before installing cume packages!
