gzip issue on solaris10

[Franck.Jolimay]

Hi,
 
 
I try to uncompress a gzip file into a pipe (fifo) 
on solaris 10 in order to pipe it into an imp ( import in oracle 9i DB),
and i have a strange behaviour, somethimes it works,
sometimes it doesn't work, i have an 
IMP-00009 ERROR during import (imp)
 
bash-3.00$ cat *.log
 
Connected to: Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit
Production
JServer Release 9.2.0.8.0 - Production
 
IMP-00009: abnormal end of export file
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
 
 
script :
 
mkfifo pipe
gzip -d < file.dmp.gz > pipe &
 
imp XX/XX ....file=pipe tables=... rows=y ...log=fic.log..
 
==> It seems that the gzip -d does not behave correct with the pipe on
solaris10
 
I tried :
 
    cat file.dmp.gz | gunzip -c > pipe &
    gzcat file.dmp.gz > pipe &
    zcat file.dmp.gz > pipe &
    gzip -dc file.dmp.gz > pipe &
 
 
Nothing is working, only the compress -c is working on a file.dmp.Z ( i
gunzip and compress the same file that was not working)
 
Do you have any ideas about this issue ?
 
Regards
