problem(?) with OnLine dbimport

Hi, I'm doing a dbimport for a large OnLine database: $ dbimport mydatabase -t /home3/importFile the file "/home3/importFile" was created by running dd(1) for the tape created by dbexport and looks quite good. The proc dbimport consumes a lot of time and while examining it with truss(1) I've just found that it is mostly playing with a temp. file: ... semop(1, 0x004AEF94, 1) = 0 unlink("/tmp/dbx21562_4") = 0 access("/tmp/dbx21562_4", 0) Err#2 ENOENT open("/tmp/dbx21562_4", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 6 fxstat(2, 6, 0x7FFFE49C) = 0 ioctl(6, TCGETA, 0x7FFFE44C) Err#25 ENOTTY write(6, 0x004DE384, 0) = 0 write(6, "\\0FA85 H01 M8D -", 8) = 8 close(6) = 0 open("/tmp/dbx21562_4", O_RDONLY, 0644) = 6 semop(1, 0x7FFFE348, 1) = 0 read(6, "\\0FA85 H01 M8D -", 8) = 8 read(6, 0x004DD664, 0) = 0 close(6) = 0 semop(1, 0x7FFFE3A0, 1) = 0 semop(1, 0x004AEF94, 1) = 0 unlink("/tmp/dbx21562_4") = 0 access("/tmp/dbx21562_4", 0) Err#2 ENOENT open("/tmp/dbx21562_4", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 6 ... Is this a bug or a feature of dbimport? Thanks in advance for any hint.
