Getting a strange error on a DECstation 5000/20 client:

<14>danel# ls
sorry, pid 1332 was killed: exec: error reading data area
Killed

The server is a 5000/200.
At the moment it is just with ls command though before it was happening with
ps.
I can cat files and echo * fine.

error log looks like this:
