The user is always "www-data", no matter where I call the script. But
anyway, this could be a good idea, because

$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) unlimited
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited

tells me a pipe size of 8 - and it works for files with no more than 8
entries, and this is a piped call. Can't be chance...

My problem is that I never heard of the command "ulimit" before - what
can I do to work around this problem? How can I (for testing) increase
the pipe size? Even root seems to have a pipe size limit of 8.

Many thanks up to now.

regards,
