Memory fault(coredump) while using cat cmd

i have few log files that are input to my perl script...

i am executing the script as below

cat RTR*.log | test.pl

and getting the following error

-ksh: 25014: Memory fault(coredump)
cat: write error: Connection reset by peer

can anyone help me on this....
Thanks in advance

My feeling is that the memory corruption happens in your perl script. I bet when you just call 'cat' on the log files, it doesn't crash, does it? So what exactly is your test.pl supposed to be doing and what does it look like?

maybe you are using ssh , and the files you cat are too large, so it cores and you are disclosed from the host
