HP-UX is something like a heavily modified BSD trying to pretend to be
SysV.  Consider this (with HP-UX 9.05): BSD-like pty's, no STREAMS,
sockets that act like BSD...  Of course, signals reset the handler like
on SysV, because that must have been easy enough to change...

AIX is weird.  It has some little bits of 4.4BSD flavor, though, doesn't
it?  I think they changed the struct sockaddr's like 4.4, for example.
