PROBLEM: (QAR 53754) (Patch ID: OSF410-405095) ******** There is a problem in the comm command where it will split long line(s) in a file by inserting a that exceeds 255 characters. In some cases, characters will be truncated. For example, if you execute the following command on a DIGITAL Unix v4.0 or greater: # comm -12 /etc/sysconfigtab /etc/sysconfigtab > outfile When you view the outfile, you will notice that the long lines under the "# %%%PCI" header are split. In this case the lines were being split after Sub_Vid_Mo_Fla and before - O on lines beginning with "PCI_Option = PCI_SE_Rev".
