Has anyone else come up with a bug in the built in sort utility that causes
it to crash (SEG.Violation) on large files >10Mb when it begins the mrge
phase. If a -z150 option is used (record size is 120 at max) the frequency
of failures is reduced, but some files still crash the sort. Am I the
first, or is there a known fix floating around.
PS is SCO's sosco machine still on 408-425-3502 ? I get no answer.

I'll save you a dial-in if you wanted to search the problems/solutions database, there are no articles referring to this. I've never heard of it before. I would guess your best recourse is to log a problem report and find out how they want to get the file....
