I'm not sure what a fix for this would be. mv --auto reads all the unknown files into memory and computes some line-wise statistics about what files would be similar.
Can you give a bit more information about the size of the files in question, etc.?
The best I can think of would be to write out summary information into a file rather than holding it in memory for the whole time.
