badtrk,awk,df all hang a 386SX system.

[Graham McMahon]

I am trying to help a friend install version V2.2.1 onto a 386SX.
This system is configured with 1 Meg. RAM & 40 Meg. disc.
The boot floppy causes the system to hang in the install process when 
attempting to run badtrk (i.e. caps LOCK does not light indicator).
If badtrk is skipped then the system installs but running awk or df
(even with illegal options - e.g. df -z) cause the system to hang.  Yet
vi,sort,ld,du,more,bc etc etc all run.
Also /xenix incorrectly indicates that this processor has a math coprocessor.

This same software is loadable on a 386 standard with 2 Meg. RAM & 40 Meg. disc.

Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
