a user reported an issue with coreutils' sort and -b/-k usage. it seems to be a regression from 5.x -> 6.x, or maybe a bug fix :).
the simple case: $ printf 'a b c\na b c\n' | sort -u -b -k1,1 a b c a b c the user contests that there should only be one line displayed (and that is how coreutils-5 seems to have behaved). rather than me copying & pasting a lot of info, here's the URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/263723 -mike
