Does stracing each side of the pipe show the call that's failing? -- Chris

The program that you are running has no been compiled to handle large user IDs or large group IDs and it is trying to process a large user ID or group ID. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/802-5366/6i94lvccc?a=view "Previous Solaris 2.x software releases used 32-bit data types to contain the user IDs (UIDs) and group IDs (GIDs), but UIDs and GIDs were constrained to a maximum useful value of 60000. In the Solaris 2.5.1 release, the limit on UID and GID values has been raised to the maximum value of a signed integer, or 2147483647." David.
