Error description

• DataStage job aborts with fatal error "Operator terminated
  abnormally: received signal SIGABRT" on Information Server
  Version 8.1 after application of Fix Pack 1. Customer reports
  the job was running to completion successfully before the fix
  pack was applied.
  
  Customer has SUSE Linux operating system on Intel platform, and
  the DataStage job log also includes glibc stack trace
  information reported for the failure. The top level of the
  stack trace:  *** glibc detected ***

Local fix

• Removing the NLS map, or setting the array and transaction sizes
  to one will eliminate the problem, however this will not be a
  valid solution if these values are required.
