And under Xenix 386 2.3.1 "ps" used to give me seek error (until i
made a binary patch to the program), but "w" and "uptime" works
allright. Another case is fsck, which just silently dies when trying
to check my system disk. No error message, no nothing.

This only makes me wonder what kind of programmers SCO are keeping.
Obviosly they cannot produce working code, and in addition manages to
screw up those programs which happend to be working before they got
their hands on them.
