I just got it running.  The original configuration I used had "HasNdbm"
defined.  This made it dump core when it opened the color database (dbm on
the PS/2 AIX is not ndbm).  I put this in site.def as a fix:

	#if defined(HasNdbm)
	#undef HasNdbm
	#endif
	#ifdef PS2Architecture
	#define HasNdbm		NO
	#else
	#define HasNdbm		YES
	#endif
