Hi dude,

I think this is going to be a temporary directory space issue.
Check with the below option.

Code:
sort -T /tmp/dir ....

Cheers,
Ranga Smilie

Hi

If the environment variable `TMPDIR' is set, `sort' uses its value
as the directory for temporary files instead of `/tmp'. The
`--temporary-directory' (`-T') option in turn overrides the environment
variable.
As Ranga mentioned -T try it

Thank you,
Senthil
