Thanks for the input.   When I run backtrace in gdb on qvwm and the core
dump, it says its in _istart().     I get the same error outside of X.  Does
this mean that the program isn't compiling correctly?    There were no
errors reported when compiling.    Could I replace SCO's version of X?

Thanks,
