That provides a bit of information, but it's not enough to tell us what the problem is. Can you please have your correspondent rebuild 'sort' using the -g option, so that we can debug it better? In the meantime, you might try running 'sort' using 'valgrind', if you can. Perhaps that will catch a memory-related problem. Does the input file contain very long lines? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
