Last year I mailed about a script that would sometimes work, and
sometimes fail with the message "csplit: memory exhausted".

This is a bug in the csplit utility.  I found discussion of it and
mention of a fix, and downloaded the latest version I could find (in
textutils-2.0.21-1).

The bug is still there (I've reported it), but there is a workaround:
don't pipe input to csplit, but write a temporary file and run csplit
on that instead.
