The bsdi binary expects your XKeysymDB file to be in a particular
directory. The way XFree86 is set up, the XKeysymDB is is another
directory. So, to get around this problem, create a symlink  in the
appropriate directory (/usr/lib/X11) or do what i've done(and what the
FAQ tells you to do) set an environment variable --

XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X386/lib/X11/XKeysymDB 

it should work just fine then.
