Sqlplus "spool" and "dd" worked in 8, but not in 9?

Our group here had a "report" that went over 2gb.
 

In version 8.1.7.4 on HPUX they did a pipe and then did a "dd of the
pipe to the "over 2gb" file name.

 

We converted the database to 9.2.0.4 and now this utility goes to never,
never land. Nothing gets written to the pipe and it appears dd never
sees anything to make it's output file.

 

I've not done the "digging" and this is the first I've seen this kind of
situation, but perhaps with other warehouses out there someone else has
already "been there, done that, this is what you do?????"

 

I've requested them to run the thing with no "dd" or pipe. Version 9 may
support spool files over 2gb.

 

Anyone else have input on this?
