Ok.  I've done all that (added XKeysmDB and XErrorDB to /usr/lib/X11, run
the install program from the console and directed it to install into the
/opt/WP8 directory which I created) and don't see a whole lot of
difference.  It's still failing.  BUT, fortunately, Busybox seems to
contain Top.  Switching to another console and running Top I see egrep at
the top of the list consuming 98.8% of CPU cycles.  Does this tell you
anything?  Is it maybe calling grep with some unusual switches the Busybox
grep doesn't understand?  Do I need the full grep/egrep next?
