The  only  time  I  have  ever seen this was  after  tuning  some  kernel
parameters and relinking the kernel.  When I wanted to reboot the system,
the  "w"  command  gave me this error (I think).  I  remember  "w"  being
unuseable until the system was rebooted.

I have 386/33 with SCO XENIX V/386 2.3.2.
