It's possible that you're running into a per-process limit, most likely the maximum allowed size of the environment (e.g. the sum of the lengths of all the environment variable names plus values). Make sure you're NOT doing `setopt all_export' or some such; if your login shell is not zsh, try something like `printenv | wc' (I've forgotten whether solaris has printenv) to find out how big the environment is. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
