netstat command creates core file

[Juan Leon_2]

I have a 700Series workstation with 2 nic cards
one card have set a lan ip 192.XX.XX.XX and the second card have set a wan IP using comcast behind router.
when I execute netstat or netstat -a the execution create a core file and does not display any information. But when running netstat -n or netstat -rvn I can see information and doesn't create a core file.
does anybody had a similar experience or someone can help me to search for the cause of the problme.

thank you

Juan

please post your /etc/nsswitch.conf file

"dns" is only allowed and applicable to the "hosts" line this could cause the above .... also O/S ? file core ? patch level wrt arpa transport, netwk patches etc ?

Are you running as normal user?

If,
check the ulimit for the user!
