As an addendum to my original question, the problem
is almost certainly related to the RAIMA database
functions used by CyberCash.

The software fails when one of its component bsdi
binaries, sem_lm (probably stands for something
like semaphore lock manager), catches a SIGSYS
and dumps core. That would be an unimplemented
system call, am I right?

Raima code is statically linked and announces itself
as
     Database Lock Manager for UNIX SYSV (LMC_SEMAPHORE)

I remade the kernel (2.2-RELEASE) with the SYSV IPC
options but I never remade any libraries. Should have
I? Am I missing something obvious or should I download
linux which - surprise, surprise - is supported?

Thanks for any help.
