--- Begin Message ---Package: coreutils Version: 8.13-3.1ubuntu1 Severity: important Original UBuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bug/1038468 Original Upstream bug: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9780 Last year a bug was reported to upstream coreutils [1] about problems on using 'sort -u'. Until recently, there was no known reproducing process; one such process was published last week [2]. Although triggering the bug can be said to be a non-completely trivial use case, data loss in 'sort' should be looked at as a serious issue. Today Jim Meyering committed what looks like the final touches of the fix (incidentally also solving a different issue (a free memory read), also in 'sort'. There are 4 commits affected, and they are shown starting in [3]. Given this is a data loss potential, I am opening this bug for all affected releases (this bug affects Coreutils 8.9 onwards -- Precise and Quantal). I am still to run the tests on Lucid, Natty, and Oneiric.
