Importing an export file

I am attempting to do an import through a named pipe. The reason for the pipe is the export file is greater than 2GB and so is compressed.

Oracle version is 7.3.3, OS is Solaris 2.6. A transcript of the failing session follows. Various portions of the imp command have been removed for transmission.

If anyone knows what may be wrong, I would greatly appreciate a reply.
