I am trying to use sort to sort a 812 MB file:
mmap2(NULL, 4118106112, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0)
= -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
I guess sort ignores the failure of the mmap system call. Here's a stack
trace:
What happens if you use the -S option to sort? (I actually don't think
it will matter, but give it a shot.)
