This is probably because of the "negative gold" bug that was discovered
when 5.2 was first released.  The gold value is an unsigned one byte
integer which somehow managed to become signed, thus any value above
127 is seen as a negative number.  I have a patch that requires an
unstripped binary and adb, but it is for the Vax, so I doubt that it will
help you on your Xenix system.  Of course, if you have the source, you
can find the problem, fix it, and recompile.
