ed limitation

Hi

I am running DU 3.2d on a AlphaServer 8400 with about 40,000 users.
Recently, my removeuser script starts to break because of the ed program.
The /etc/passwd is currently over 3MByte and I read the manpage of ed that
there is a limitation on the file size.

Is there anyway to increase the filesize limits of ed ? Is there another
version of ed without this limitation ?

Thank you.

Have a nice day.



Regards
