Awk:Segementation Fault

I am using awk command to sort a large file (7MB) and compare two files of
7 MB. The code is working fine for smaller files. But it gives following error for larger files
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I am doing this on cygwin

Please help in this regard

Thanks
Sandeep

You don't give much information about what you are trying to achieve, so it's hard to advise, but have you thought about using sort and a file compaison tool (cmp, diff) instead of awk?

cheers
