Try the following:
1) Copy the file to a temp file.
2) Keep dividing it in half until you can run the "sed" command successfuly.
3) From this successful file, keep adding X amount of records until it does not work.
Let us know the results:
a) What is the file size (bytes) where the command breaks.
b) How many lines it has.
Are you giving sufficient time for the "sed" command to work?
Does it give any error message at all?
