I'm expecting 9,961,914 rows returned. Each row in the big table
should have a corresponding key in the smaller tale, I want to
basically "expand" the big table column list by one, via adding the
appropriate key from the smaller table for each row in the big table.
It's not a cartesion product join.

Hi List;
I have a table with 9,961,914 rows in it (see the describe of
bigtab_stats_fact_tmp14 below)
I also have a table with 7,785 rows in it (see the describe of
xsegment_dim below)
I'm running the join shown below and it takes > 10 hours and
eventually runs out of disk space on a 1.4TB file system

Dumb question Kevin, but are you really expecting 3.2 billion rows
in the result-set? Because that's approaching 400GB of result-set
without any overheads.
