It's likely that your files aren't properly sorted. While I didn't validate your attachments, 'join --help' is explicit that: Important: FILE1 and FILE2 must be sorted on the join fields. E.g., use `sort -k 1b,1' if `join' has no options. Additionally, if you upgrade to coreutils 7.1 (the latest stable version), join has an option to output a warning if it encounters unsorted input. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
