Not wanting to get too involved with this (I try to avoid even
standing close to the machine SCO's running on), I compiled 18.58
under SCO ODT 2.0 and noticed that X11 support was hosed - the old
dreaded "Xlib ...  sequence lost" messages indicating that something
had gone wrong with I/O to the xlib connection socket.  I've seen this
previously with other braindead SYSV machines trying to use SIGIO, and
taken the provided SIG_{UN}BLOCK fix, but this is more of a puzzler
since SCO doesn't even use SIGIO.  Like I said, I didn't want to get
too involved with this (and so just compiled emacs without X support
for now), but I'd appreciate it if anyone has a fix for this that I
can just apply and forget that I ever logged into a SCO machine.  Ugh!
I'm getting hives just thinking about the experience.  Ik ik ik ik ik
ik..  Cooties!  I touched it!  I'm diseased!
