There is a 9term in the "ported libraries and software" bundle that
I've been maintaining, mainly thanks to Caerwyn Jones and
Richard Bilson.  It seems not to cope well with some common
terminal things (I manage to wedge it on FreeBSD after only
a few minutes of use).  On SunOS things are even worse, because
something is amiss in the thread library but I don't know what.

So the answer to the original question is "I don't know why
9term is crashing".  There's still debugging to be done.
