Problem with sort ... textutils-2.0.21 on TRU64 v5.1a

Message-ID <F5C14CB08F4FD411811D00508B13420804309556@SRVSUND14>
When sorting large files I (root) receive the following message ...


/usr/local/bin/sort: cannot create temporary file: /sorttest/sortapuED: File
exists


I have tried various command combinations with different temporary areas
(all 777 perm). 

Compaq sort and syncsort are working correctly on the same system. 


Can you help?


Thanks
Frank
