I am having problems with def7_uni.h,  too.  My system is SunOS 5.6.
The behavior I am experiencing is rather puzzling.  When I run 
makeuctb def7_uni.tbl
with stdout going to the terminal,  I get the complete def7_uni.h
displayed.  If I redirect the output to a file,  it gets terminmated in
the middle.  This happens under different shells (zsh, sh, bash, tcsh),
the file gets always truncated on the same place:
        {0xfb05,"St"}, {0xfb06,"st"}, {0xfe7d,"3+;"}, {0xfe82,"aM."},
        {0xfe84
I finally managed to create def7_uni.h by running makeuctb under
`script',  editing the typescript file manually,  and renaming it.
So far it seems to be working fine.
