Thanks for the report. However I cannot recreate your failure. I tried both coreutils-6.9 as well as the latest version. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# join -a 1 aa.txt bb.txt > AAaaaaaaa 1 2 3 4 5 6a > 12 bbbbbbb 1 2 3 4 5 6n > CCccccccccccc 1 2 3 4 5 6c > DDdddddddddd 1 2 3 4 5 6d > EEeeeeeeeeee 1 2 3 4 5 6e The result I get is: join -a 1 aa.txt bb.txt 11 aaaaaaa 1 2 3 4 5 6a AA 12 bbbbbbb 1 2 3 4 5 6n 13 ccccccccccc 1 2 3 4 5 6c CC 14 dddddddddd 1 2 3 4 5 6d DD 15 eeeeeeeeee 1 2 3 4 5 6e EE You may want to try a pristine version to determine if it is upstream coreutils or if it is due to a patch that has been applied to it downstream. In which case you might as well try the latest version. Here is the latest test release. Please try it and see if it solves the problem. If so then I believe it must be in a downstream patch. In which case the problem should be reported to your vendor.
