Henner,

As one of the people who worked on the changes to the engine sort file

read your messages.

Testing had been done on a variety of scenarios, including generating
multi-Gigabyte sort file sets.

A couple;

- Are there any TMP_DIRECTORY entries in your IBConfig file?

- You are running the final release, v1.0.0.796?
