I run uEmacs 3.9 on 286 Xenix2.2.3, works fine. The same source, compiled on
386AT 2.3.2 Xenix has several bugs especially when deleting buffers, or
switching windows - the editor seems to loose its idea about where the cursor
is, but regains it on typing something in the buffer. I wonder if this is a bug
in uEmacs or 386AT Xenix. I did not look into the source code, since there
already is a version 3.10 of uEmacs out.
