Those files don't seem very big. I tried some tests with comm and I could not get a failure. I suppose that you could have buggy version of comm. Can you try it on another system?
Remember, a missorted input file is guaranteed to make comm fail like this. Ate you sure you had the same LOCALE during both sort and comm? If you use an exotic LOCALE, try setting your LOCALE to C.
And btw, uids are integers, perhaps those are user names.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
deleg_method - Creation of comm delegates (snit methods)
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.3
package require snit ?1.1?
package require interp::delegate::method ?0.2?
::interp::delegate::method ?-async? name arguments comm id
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides a single command for use within snit type definition (i.e. actually a snit::macro) for the convenient creation of
methods which delegate the actual work to a remote location via a "channel" created by the package comm.
API
::interp::delegate::method ?-async? name arguments comm id
This commands creates a method which is named by name. All invokations of this method will delegate the actual work to the remote
location identified by the comm channel comm and the endpoint id.
The name of the remote method invoked by the delegator is identical to the name of the method itself.
Normally the generated method marshalls the arguments, and returns the result from the remote method as its own result. If however
the option -async was specified then the generated method will not wait for a result and return immediately.
