4.0/5.0 X Input shared objects in 5.1b

We have an old shared library that was designed originally under Tru64 4.0
used to talk with an Immersion Box and X and an X input device. This
shared library also works under Tru64 5.0. It is loaded via Xserver.conf

This same library has been tried on Tru64 5.1b resulting in a segfault of
X upon initialization.

What we are wondering is if there is perhaps a way to convert this library
to the new type used by 5.1b or a way that 5.1b can use this older library
natively. Unfortunately we do not have the source code.

Core dumps from X seem to indicate it is crashing on "strcspn()".

Any ideas appreciated...

Thanks.
