If you've compiled qvwm with debugging symbols (which is the default, 
i.e. with -g passed to the compiler) you should be able to get gdb to 
tell you what function it's segfaulting in. That should make figuring 
out what the problem is a whole lot easier. My guess is that the 
segfault is in some X or Xt function that SCO has diddled with. The 
commercial Unix vendors are notorious for diddling with X...
