can anyone confirm this ?  on my systems (tested Gentoo and Fedora) with 
glibc-2.5, the example file is not sorted properly while on systems running 
glibc-2.4, it is sorted properly ... coreutil-5.97 through coreutils-6.7 (and 
cvs) seem to show the same behavior

$ cat sortme
/dev udev tmpfs rw,nosuid
/dev/shm none tmpfs rw
/ /dev/root reiserfs rw,noatime
/dev/pts devpts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec

[ works ]
$ /lib/libc.so.6 | head -n 1
