I get the message 'cat: memory exhausted' when trying to run 'cat' on
a big file across rsh to a HP/UX box. The problem goes away when I
try to do this in an interactive shell, or if I pipe the output from
cat through dd:
Here is a summary:
% /bin/uname -a
Linux ravenclaw.uio.no 2.4.7-10 #1 Thu Sep 6 17:27:27 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
% rsh snipe /usr/bin/uname -a
HP-UX snipe B.11.00 A 9000/782 2001385808 two-user license
% rsh snipe "cat /local/store/snipe/bash-c/V*" |tar tf - >/dev/null
cat: memory exhausted
% rsh snipe "cat /local/store/snipe/bash-c/V* | dd" |tar tf - >/dev/null

Any ideas? This only seem to happen on HP/UX, and not on Irix,
Solaris, Tru64 UNIX or Linux.
