There's some sort of a problem with DBLOAD, in that it seems to be clobbering some internal buffers whenever it hits some peculiar combination of data. When you move the data items around in the dbload file, the problem finally goes away. Report it....it's a bug. They had to recompile a special version of dbload for us. The fix was a kludge, they set up a new environmental variable to allow for some core-dump-type of checking. Just using this variable made the problem go away.
