It looks like anything that spawns a shell hangs on Solaris 8 - e.g.
printing (even just to 'lpr'), or viewing an attachment (with 'xv')
hangs after the command completes (the mail gets printed, the viewer
comes up and exits).

I've tried building with Solaris 'cc' and 'gcc' - same result.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Use truss(1) to see what's happening before the wheels fall off. Truss is your
friend, especially on Solaris 8 where you don't have the modern marvels of
dtrace.

Temporarily remove files that affect a shell, e.g. .profile, .kshrc,
.bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc, .login etc. whatever your shell looks
at. Then completely logout & login again, startup alpine and see
whether the behaviour is still present.
