>Description:
pips-sc880 works great - but not out of the box with the current
install.  if svr4 support is not enabled, then pips binaries just
core dump.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
install should print out a 'turn on svr4 in /etc/rc.conf' or something.
alternatively, maybe a different error message could be sent to syslog
by the kernel if it detects a required emulation mode to run a binary.
in particular (a usefull fix for linux and svr4 binaries in general)
