title: unix dircmp is failing with the following error: sort: 0653-657 A write error occurred while merging
body: <p>I'm trying to do a <code>dircmp -s dir1 dir2</code> on two very large directories. After waiting a good 15min, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sort: 0653-657 A write error occurred while merging.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm guessing it ran out of RAM while trying to execute the unix command. Do you guys have an alternative solution? </p>
  
  <p>I can also code the solution in Perl if needed.</p>
