Until recently I've had no problem importing, building, deploying
Greenstone 3 collections from the command line.

But now I get a weird 'Broken pipe' error during the build process...

-------- this happens --------------
$ buildcol.pl -collectdir <correct full path is here> hcibib
WARNING: None of -removeold, -keepold or -incremental were specified,
defaulting to -removeold. Current contents of building directory will
be deleted.

archives.inf

USAGE:

Broken pipe
$
---------------------------------------------

This is independent of the document, or the plugin that processed the
documents during import.
The failure is always the same.

Building is completely fine if I use the -debug option for
buildcol.pl

Obviously there's an inter-process communication problem. But I've
got no idea what it is or how to fix it.

I'm using Greenstone 3 on OS 10.4.10

Cheers
Steve
