The illegal instruction error may be caused by not following Charles'
instructions regarding stack size, etc. Also, be aware that you will *not*
be able to run SCO X programs if you use the kernel floating point
emulation.

The story behind the X display connections is this - SCO uses STREAM pipes
for local X connections (ie. DISPLAY=:0.0). We don't have any hacks in
there to support this (yet). Setting DISPLAY to localhost:0 or $(hostname):0
should work fine since that will force the use of sockets.
