I'm running 2.2.2-stable, the binary is the Cheyenne ArcServe Backup Agent
version 1.0, although I don't know which version of BSD/OS it's for.

I was hoping to avoid installing BSD/OS just to feed my tape system, but
it's kind of looking like it.  Oh well.

The linux version fails with similar problems.

Maybe they can do a port.  I already suggested it to their tech support
guys, but I doubt that will get very far.
