I can't say much about RHEL and other RH versions, but I can
say that I don't know about any recent changes in [exec].

Can you reproduce the problem with a "normal" (that is: not vendor-)
program ?
If you get incomplete (or perhaps none at all) output,
could it be that the filesystems on which /tmp or /var/tmp
reside are just plain full?
Has the vendor-software changed as well?
