in reply to Strange behaviour from two pieces of similar code in different running environments

As you said the environment could be slightly different, so for example missing permissions or a full RAM could cause a load failure with a not-so-accurate error message.

    It has happenned with all the letters I've tested, of which there have been 7 so far.

    The two scripts are running on the same machine simultaneously. The RAM is plentiful there.
      Do they run as the same user? (And if you have selinux enabled: in the same security context?)

      Does any of the scripts try to lock any of the files? (You can find out with strace I think). What about space on /tmp/?
