You may want to check your .login and .logout files.  You may be executing
something which was compiled for a Sun-3.  Also check the paths for every
thing you are executing,  you may have kept a path to Sun-3 code
somewhere.  If you ever try running Sunview as a Sun-3 executeable in a
SparcStation you will get almost the exact result you described.
