Subject:	a shell script corrupting the file system

I've been using the following shell script and each use corrupts the file
system.  So, then I have to use NT's check/fix disk utility to fix it.  The
script produces a file sized ~163Mb.  The C disk has 350 Mb of free space
and the D disk has 700 Mb.

Any suggestions of what the problem is, or leads on what to look for?  Could
it be a swap space problem?

thanks,
Leland H.
