SGID programs work fine, to my direct knowlege, on:

	Xenix V/386 2.2 & 2.3
	Xenix V/286 2.2

Now, 80286 XENIX programs executed on Interactive 386/ix that are SGID WILL
NOT work right.  Neither will SUID programs.  It has to do with the way
their emulator works.

'386 Xenix binaries on Interactive do work however.  We do that all the time
as well, without trouble.
