segmentation fault with sort on AIX 1.2 (PS/2)

[Michael Feig]

On our system (AIX 1.2, PS/2) /bin/sort doesn't work properly.
When called by a 'normal' user it terminates with the message
'segmentation fault (core dumped)' and does nothing.
When called as root it works just as it should.
Is this a known bug or is our system just installed in the wrong manner ?

Replies by mail will be summarized if interesting enough.
