I've experienced the same thing on a Sun running OS3.2 (for cross-reference).

There's also a bug in the strtok() function in schedule.c which causes a
core dump if you try to post an event to a group (`G' command). A context
diff follows :

*** schedule.c.dist	Mon Nov 14 22:39:41 1988
--- schedule.c	Mon Nov 14 22:47:06 1988

      if (s1 != (char *)NULL)
  	pos = s1;
  
!     if (*pos == '\0')
! 	return((char *)NULL);
  
      for (p = pos; *p != '\0'; p++) {
  	if (index(s2, (int) *p) == (char *)NULL)
