Problem found with "whoami" command for SYS V.

When the login id is 8 characters long and if 
that person does "whoami" - nothing is responded 
and "whoami" slintly returns the prompt.

If login id is less than 8 characters than there 
is no problem.

Has anybody encountered this problem ?
What is the possible solution ?
