Subject: [FreeBSD 2.0-950112-SNAP] - Should BCS2 work?

I just installed FreeBSD 2.0-950112-SNAP.  I ran the ibcs2 program, and
it seemed to indicate that BCS support was loaded.  All of my SCO programs,
even simple things like 'cat', fail with 'IO Trap'.  Note that these are
all SCO version 3.2.2 programs.

I've scanned the system for any documentation on BCS support, but can't
seem to find *anything*.  I assume that this is supposed to work and that
I'm just doing something wrong.  Does anyone know what, precisely, must be
done to run SCO binaries?
