Sorry for botching the NEWS and the change log. To help make amends, how about if I add a test case for that? I'm thinking of the 2nd test case in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2010-12/msg00043.html>, namely this one:
gensort -a 10000 > gensort-10k for i in $(seq 2000); do printf '% 4d\n' $i; src/sort -S 100K \ --parallel=2 gensort-10k > j; test $(wc -c < j) = 1000000 || break; done Or if you have a better one in mind, please let me know. There are also some test cases I need to add for the (unrelated) sort-compression bug, which is next on my list of coreutils bugs to look at.
