Here's another good one:

I mean merge them, then sort, then randomize, then split them. With no

Hello!
I would like to report a bug in the df program in the
GNU coreutils package.
Here is a proof by example:
$ df --version
df (coreutils) 5.2.1
$ df --portability /
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda1 361278225408116596 66%
'ls', by default for root, comes '-A' - which ignores '.' and
'chgrp' should also have a similar '-A' flag available to it.
You probobly have some aliases set when you are root, check with the
command `alias' if you are using bash.

Why? -g uses floating point, and 1 EB (10**18) can be represent
Description: Suppose that the current directory has no file or

This appears to claim that 'new/new' cannot be created because it does
not exist. How

While looking at coreutils option processing I noticed that
"od" had a FIXME and a few other compatibility problems with
respect to POSIX and FreeBSD. I installed the following patch
to fix the problems I found.
