I had dust fail when it ran out of memory:

memory allocation of 26214400 bytes failedAbandon

GNU sort uses temporary files so that it offloads big allocations to disk. Could this be considered ?

Seems reasonable to me,

I did a bit of a re-write recently that may mitigate this.

I use walkdir now as of 0.5.2 so this is probably fixed.
