You didn't provide useful debugging information -- which system call is
it?

If it's "setfsuid", either ApplixWare statically linked to the libncurses
shipped by SuSE (which idiotically uses setfsuid when it should really
use seteuid, but when the *right* solution would be to recode to not
require this type of hackery at all!) or I missed another library SuSE
did the same dumb thing to when I updated the package to 6.3.
