Broken Pipe on Input?

[Balint, Jess]

Hi all. Can anybody tell me why I get a broken pipe on the following? I just
can figure it out. Thanks.

# Get all possible states from the files
open( STATES, "sort $hotline  |" )
        or cust_die( "Cannot open files to get states
($hotline,$newtofile,$newmover): $!\n" );
        while( <STATES> ) {
                # Recode missing
#               if( m/^$/ ) { $_ = "(blank)"; }
                push @states, $_;
        }
close( STATES );
