dir | more command is killing the command window |

Hello,
Recently, we are observing some strange problems on some of our Windows
2003 SP1 servers. The pipe mechanism is completely broken. Not sure
what caused this. Basically here are the steps to reproduce
1. Open command shell (cmd.exe)
2. Run any of the following commands and it kills the command window
dir | more
type filename | findstr foo
This is causing serious problems for many applications on the system
since they rely on passing data between processes over pipe.
Has anyone seen this and what's the cause for this?
I am suspecting, that, some latest Windows update has caused this,
since everything was working fine till last week or so.
Thanks.
