- I wanted to sort a text file, line length less than 80 chars, total file
- size 379438, on the second field, and the 2.0 sort told me that it had
- insufficient storage. What's going on?
-
- The file is a log file from a multi-threaded program and the second
- field is the timestamp. I wanted to sort by time to unravel the
- sequence of operations of each thread.
-
- My workaround was to copy the file to a Unix box and use the sort there.
