Thanks for the report. What version of coreutils? What platform? Was your version compiled with large-file support? There is no inherent limit in the join code, but if the executable lacks large file support, that might explain it stopping after 2 gig of data processing. Also, are you sure your files are properly sorted? It sounds like they are, from your description, but that is a common enough user bug that it is worth asking. > Neither the confidentiality nor the integrity of this message can be Disclaimers like this are unenforceable on public mailing lists, so it is considered better netiquette if you can use an email account that doesn't append an employer's disclaimer when posting. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
