My 5000 is running Ultrix 4.1 so I think it is probably something else.

Sounds like you picked the wrong port when you installed.  You should
have chosen ultrix4.  If you had you wouldn't need to have messed around
with dynamic loader code.  I don't know if this is the reason for your
problem, but it is probably a good place to start.  To change ports you
will need to run the following:

	rm -rf $POSTGRESHOME/obj.dec
	cd $POSTGRESHOME/newconf
	newport
	Make everything install

When newport prompts for the new port to use make sure to pick ultrix4.
