Are you using the --quick option?

--quick, -q

This option is useful for dumping large tables. It forces mysqldump to
retrieve rows for a table from the server a row at a time rather than
retrieving the entire row set and buffering it in memory before writing
it out.

thanks both - that did the trick

cheers
