Broken pipe problem




Hi,

I've recently encounted a problem when running commands requiring
piping.

Like in: tar ztvf <tar file>
on large files with lots of listings I get a broken pipe error.
or using alien on large files - it crashes due to this problem.



My system is P-II 233MH, Atlanta Intel board, with RH4.1
installed. Kernel 2.0.31

However, it can not be a hardware problem, cause I've used this same
configuration with my old 486Dx33 computer, just a while ago, with the
same phenomena. And besides - There aren't any other indications for a
HW problems.

My guess is - maybe the upgrade of libc (libc-5.4.38) ?


Any suggestions ??,

Thanks, in advance.
