Problem with "ar" archiver

We're running release V3.2 148 of OSF. We are having problems creating
an archive of 207 object files to link against. The command and output
we get is:

ar -rc test.a *.o
ar: error writing archive member contents: Bad file number

If the files are added 10 at a time, there are no problems until there
are 60, then adding the next 10 we get the error:

ar: error writing archive member contents: No such file or directory

After trying to add all 207, an ar -t test.a lists 160 files.

Is this a known problem or are we doing something wrong? Is there a
workaround?

Thanks in advance,

Michael
