IBCS2 regression in FreeBSD 5??

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

While I will be among the first to say that FreeBSD is often used
in this capacity (serving as a base for a commercial product), it
would be - in my opinion - a far better use of money to pay a
developer to write a FreeBSD application that would run on FreeBSD
8 and duplicate whatever functionality that this antique
SCO program is doing.

  FreeNSD 4.X runs great under VirtualBox and that is probably what
the OP should be doing.  I also happen to have a FreeBSD 8 system
that has a VirtualBox session running FreeBSD 4 that an older program
is running in.
