Mystery solved.  Turned out to be a softlimit problem.  I increased
sophie's softlimit from 20 MB to 25 MB and now it will start.

Thanks to Alain Fauconnet for demonstrating that freebsd 4.9/sophie
1.44/sav 3.90 will actually work together, eliminating incompatiblity as a
source of the problem.

Appreciate the support.
