Did they confirm a delivery date when you ordered? If yes and it's
past that date I'd call a manager at that distributor, then Philips if
they don't offer a reasonable explanation or don't commit to a firm
ship date.

No, but my distributor also shows no stock on the 2134. They also show
no lead time which is usually worrisome.

Could be a one-time production glitch. Personally I am always cautious
about single source and most uC unfortunately are single sourced. That
is one reason why I often designed in mature processors (8051 family).
