I think this is a problem with too many open files. Each line may
be getting treated by the spooler as a separate file. The "broken"
system might already have more files open, or the "good" system may have
more open files allowed.
Is the spooling setup on both of the systems the same? Or does the "good"
one print directly to a smart network printer?
