Bob.... The problems is that Xenix286 is running out of heap space. This
problem actually started with version 7.2.5 and I haven't really had the
time to fix it for the 286 version. Under Xenix386, all is well. Until I
get the chance, you can easily modify the strcpy line to implicity load
into buf128 the actually "ORGPATH" for your system. This, I know, will
work until I move some of the dynamic buffers to a static region.

P.S.    I have/had a message on my system about the 286 problem. Know you
        know why I went to a 386 machine under Xenix386!
