Are you running out of space in /tmp perhaps?

thanks for your answer, but this is the situation of the /tmp file system.

# bdf /tmp
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol4 204800 7528 195792 4% /tmp

What's the permission of /tmp?

ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwx 17 bin bin 6144 Jun 23 04:34 /tmp

Maybe recreate them?

Have a look at the catman command.
