hi,

i'm trying to do some reseach on that MCHK issue on macppc and diff -u 
two files against each other:

fulcrum: {50} diff -u objdump.netbsd_MP_FULL_OPT 
objdump.netbsd_MP_OPT_O3
diff: memory exhausted

-rw-r--r--  1 tis   users   50M Apr  3 16:19 objdump.netbsd_MP_FULL_OPT
-rw-r--r--  1 tis   users   50M Apr  3 16:33 objdump.netbsd_MP_OPT_O3

is there anything i can do to get a 1GByte RAM machine diff two 
~50MByte files?

tia & regards,
