>Description:
For years (since 4.2) I've used iBCS2 to run MS FoxPro Unix 2.6 without any problems. I am setting up a new machine and have installed 8.1.

I have iBCS2 load via klms:

parkrow4# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    8 0xc0400000 bb5504   kernel
 2    2 0xc0fb6000 cc94     ibcs2.ko
 3    1 0xc0fc3000 3028     ibcs2_coff.ko

When I run the binary I get a segmentation fault message.

parkrow4# file foxpro.pr
foxpro.pr: 80386 COFF executable

parkrow4# truss ./foxpro.pr
truss: execution type IBCS2 COFF is not supported -- using FreeBSD a.out: Unknown error: 0
SIGNAL 11 (SIGSEGV)
>How-To-Repeat:
See notes above. As a precaution I have done a complete reinstall after checking the SHA256. I also uses Memtest86+ to do a hardware test.

There are some other similar reports. http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=19764
