Hi, 

I believe I have quite an interesting problem here:

(Pentium i386, 32MB memory, 600MB NetBSD disk space EIDE)

I am attempting to run a database environment called uniVerse from a company
called Vmark in Boston. It is supposed to run on an SCO UNIX V3.42 system. I
have previously managed to get it to run on NETBSD-current back in 1995
before the NetBSD 1.1 was made by simply enabling the IBCS2 emulation.

Now I am running NetBSD 1.1 and whenever I try to run the database, it
creates it's shared memory segments no problem but then the system panics with:

'Panic: ibcs2_read'

Dump..... etc.


Since I do not have to source code for this product, I cannot give any
further information.

Has anyone come across this before? Can someone suggest a way to return the
NetBSD system i386 ibcs2 emulation to the level it was at in NetBSD-current
in early to middle 1995?
