Broken software using ULTRIX 1.2

[Jeff Parke]

We recently "upgraded" a vax750 to ULTRIX 1.2.  Suddenly the following don't
work anymore:

finger (core dumps occasionally)
sps
top
uw (windows program)
sccs (admin command bombs)

Has anyone else seen this?  Has anyone figured out how to fix?  Or is there
something wrong with our installation of ULTRIX?
