I could reproduce the issue with sweep 0.9.2. I didn't even have to use a
huge file, 60 files totaling 780MB were enough to crash sweep.
I opened the GUI from terminal and tried to open those files. It started to
open them one by one, but at some point it crashed.

Here is the output in terminal:
sh-3.2$ sweep
GLib-ERROR **:

I was running Debian 5.0.7 (lenny) with Linux Kernel 2.6.26-2-686. I had 2GB
of physical memory and 4GB swap.
