For starters, this is an AIX error message. Perhaps try using gnu grep?

Use xargs(1) in stead of -exec Theo -- Theo v.

How would that help? -exec gets only one file name as a parameter. It gets executed once per file. The problem here is that the AIX version of grep only handles lines of 2048 characters at most
