% FINDFILE: Error managing child process. [message #40238]

I am having an annoying problem with FINDFILE on a Sunblade with IDL 6.0
(version = { sparc sunos unix Solaris 6.0 Jun 27 2003 64 64}). I run an
IDL program that runs fine on other machines (PCs running Linux) and used
to work on this Sunblade too, and now it stops with an error message at a
call to FINDFILE. The call is alright, the problem is that FINDFILE seems
to spawn an "ls" or something, because I get the same error when I spawn
"ls" by hand:

IDL> $ls
% Error managing child process.
Not enough space

What is this? Bug? Feature? Memory problem? It actually occurs with *any*
spawned command (I tried "cat" or even non-existent commands with the same
result). Can I circumvent this somehow? Any help appreciated. Here's the
system info:

IDL> print, !version
