Hi,
I've just upgraded from RH6.0 to RH6.1. In that process, the
textutils packages was upgraded from 1.something to 2.0 and
I now find that the sort program behaves differently. TO check
this I downloaded textutils-2.0.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.gnu.org
and compiled it. This version also seems to work incorrectly.
Consider the file containing:
-------------------------------------
12
1 # First character is a space.
13
-------------------------------------
Running sort on this file should (and used to) produce:
-------------------------------------
1 # First character is a space.
12
13
-------------------------------------
Unfortunately, it now produces:
-------------------------------------
12
13
1 # First character is a space.
-------------------------------------
which breaks a number of scripts which rely on the old
behaviour of sort.
Cheers,
Erik
