Noticed this using gupdatedb from Blastwave. [Yes, I filed it there, but no 
answer]

# gupdatedb
sort: insufficient memory; use -S option to increase allocation
Broken Pipe

Played a bit with it, but didn't go away. Searched Google, and this was 
something way back in Solaris 10.
But nothing actual.
Therefore I made it fail here, in front of my eyes:

# find . | wc -l
  372245
# find . | sort | wc -l
sort: insufficient memory; use -S option to increase allocation
       0

# which sort
/usr/bin/sort
# uname -a
SunOS SolU 5.11 snv_96 i86pc i386 i86pc
# ls -l /usr/bin/sort
-r-xr-xr-x  96 root     bin         8148 Aug  9 01:58 /usr/bin/sort

What can I do?

Uwe
