That may lead to straightforward incorrect behaviour.
But I really don't see what's wrong with that assumption. It holds for other coreutils and that's what matters most. A clearly documented limitation is not a bug, but a feature :) . _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
