This is strange. All the libc5 X libraries I'm aware of install in
/usr/lib/libc5-compat, not /usr/openwin/lib ;

Your binary is being loaded against a mix of libc5 and libc6 libraries
(which usually results in immediate coredumps). Most likely, the X libraries
you're loading against are to blame.
Make sure you have /usr/lib/libc5-compat in /etc/ld.so.conf, that you have
the libc5 X libraries (in the "xlib6" package) installed, and that "ldd" on
your maple binaries shows them being loaded against these.
