Check tsx-11 to ensure you are using the current iBCS release. Use the
ibcs/Tools/trace tool to log the system calls that occur and see if
anything obvious leaps out.
My guess is that the threading in 7.2x is getting screwed (it
probably relies on nasties like signal stack frames and assembler
fudging). Without a test program (or even code) I doubt that this
will be easy to fix.
