Crash creating HOL record: "Error: create_library_file_name - no env variable.."

Description:
We are now having several people having a client crash when trying to create holdings. The error I see in the log file is:

DESCRIPTION: Create HOL Document
ACTION :
PROGRAM : pc_com_c0103

Error: create_library_file_name - no env variable found for ^B 0\o_dev
defaulting to aleph_dev.... tab100
Error: create_library_file_name - no env variable found for ^B 0\o_dev
defaulting to aleph_dev.... tab100_pc
Load: /exlibris/aleph/u18_1/abc60/tab/tab11_ind

Oracle error: update_cursor z16
ORA-00911: invalid character
...
Oracle error: update_cursor z30
ORA-00911: invalid character

And in another case:

Error: create_library_file_name - no env variable found for 0\o/_dev
defaulting to aleph_dev.... tab100
...
Oracle error: update_cursor z16
ORA-00903: invalid table name

And in a third case:

Error: create_library_file_name - no env variable found for 0y000_dev

Resolution:
This is most likely a discrepancy between the GUI .\Catalog\bin\catalog.exe and the server programs.

What SP level are you at? When did you last apply a Service Pack?

[From site:] There was a difference in my catalog.exe and everyone else's and it was caused by versioning. So far, the ones I overwritten haven't crashed when creating the holding record.
