That's because nwadmin is making some poor assumptions about the
size of a pointer.  It's been this way for years.

It has nothing to do with XFree86, it has to do with your environment
on the Tru64 box.  Do a

        man uac

You just need to make sure that a

        uac p 0

is in your environment before you run nwadmin, and you'll no longer
receive notifications from the OS about what it's doing to fix the
problems with the shoddy app you're trying to run.  ;-)
