Error: Value too large for defined data type
Hi all,

I have this problem in one of the SCO UNIXWare 7.1.4. We have an application which is working on hundreds of machines. When we try to install the same application on a new machine, the executable/binary gives the following error and exits...

"xxx startup failure: Value too large for defined data type"

Same executable is working fine on the other machines. All the machines are exactly same. (OS level, patch level, Environment and softwares installed on the machine). I have the df's checked. I have no clue how to proceed further on this?

Os :
UnixWare 5 7.1.3 i386 x86at

Patch:
uw713m5 UnixWare 7.1.3 Maintenance Pack 5


Can someone give us some idea about the error and how to look in to this?

Regards,
Vamshi
