FOLLOWUP: oddities with ramon

	Well that didn't do what I expected. It started dumping unsorted data
to the output file well before even reading all the files. It may be that it
is hitting the size limit on output (the web server was at about 4 gigs when
it got dumped) and done the usual thing of dumping the data and starting again
(I usually avoid this by perl which doesn't have the output size limitation).
It looked (before I stopped it) to be using about 350 megs of memory:

USER     PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND

and be not quite half done.
