Your bug report is not complete enough to even guess as to what
problem you are having.  Please include specific details of your
problem.  Include 'sort --version' output.  Include the operating
system 'uname -a' and the version of any relevant libraries.

Normally I would ask for input files to recreate the problem.  But if
you are sorting 4GB files that would be infeasable so do not try to
send those!  But please to include whatever details you can about the
specific nature of the problem you are seeing.

FYI, here's the latest test release.  It is possible that your problem
might already be fixed in a later version.
