Oh boy, it's the avlmemi curse once again... this is getting old. :^)

In ray/src/rt/ambient.c you'll find and '#if 1' preceding the avlmemi()
definition. Change that to an '#if 0' and she should be right, mate.

I'll leave it to Greg to eggs-plain what avlmemi does wrong. Possibly a
portability bug, but not peculiar to IRIX. Also pops up under Linux.
Nuthin' wrong with your Onyx, that's for sure.

Onyces rule!
