that is because in main.c - > do_foreground() -> isdigit(ch), 
when pressing char '.', ch will be assigned to old_ch,  where 
old_ch was declared as " int old_ch " without initialization. On 
welcome page, old_ch hasn't be assigned to any value, yet. 
Hence, 
In Linux, isdigit(ch) will triger SIGSEGV, In AIX, this is fine, 
though. 
 
Fix: Initialize ch and old_chr to 0 when declaring variables.
