Without the pipe to dsget it does not choke.

One thing that bothers me is that DSQUERY should have brought back all the entries and you should have been able to use it as expected. I'm trying to figure out why DSQUERY chokes on the amount.
Can you verify that it's the amount that's causing it to choke? Can you run it without piping the results to dsget and see if you get the same results?

How about
Command | grep ">"
Or do you mean the dn: string prefixing the dn being returned?
If the latter, you can have it returned distinguishedname as one of the attributes and then use the command above but you will still get the attribute labels. If you just want DN strings, you can use the -dsq option but you won't get attributes output at all then.

Any way to exclude the DN from the output?
