Not sure if this is a bug in mysqldump or not. I'm using MySQL 3.22.23b, I ran mysqldump against a 400MB database and watched as it tried to read the whole thing into RAM, then into swap, and then grind my system to a near stop:

$ mysqldump -u dbuser -p bigdb > bigdb.sql

It took awhile before I was able to break out of it. It was okay when I used the --quick option, but I still don't think it should have done that.
