CSS broken after concating together in IE 9

Question

I am using yui-compressor.jar to contact all my css files together. This works fine on all browsers except IE 9

This is how I am contacting:

exec ('cat '.implode($css_files, ' ').' | java -jar yuicompressor.jar --type css -o ../css/all.css');

What would I have to look for to figure out why this is happening. There must be an error in a css file somewhere, but I don't know what to look for.

This is NOT happen in IE 10, 11 or any other browser.

It is backwords, but php.net says it can go in either order. — Chris Muench, Apr 14 '14 at 20:53

The problem was at that IE 9 has a selector limit per file as discussed here:

Internet Explorer 6 through 9 has a CSS selector limit of 4095 selectors.

To avoid this, simply split your CSS files into the minimum number needed to avoid this issue and fall below the limit.
