Error description
On Solaris Operating Environments the JVM crashes. The awk utility in the db2profile script does not work correctly with very long strings. If the CLASSPATH environment variable has a value that exceeds 2560 characters then the resulting CLASSPATH variable gets truncated and the JVM crashes.
Local fix
On Solaris Operating Environments edit db2profile and replace "awk" with "nawk" - a newer awk compatible utility.
