Suppose you're randomizing an input file of 10 million lines. And
suppose you want to approximate a "truly random" key by using a
128-bit random key

I think we have been having several builders lately with severely
broken systems. Perhaps we should create some tests not for coreutils
itself but instead for the system? Things like /dev/null readable and

Thanks for catching that; I fixed it.

Hi coreutils developers,
These below, are two patches that might be useful.
Ths susu patch brings the suauth functionality to coreutils.
It is a very simple patch to `su', which takes a list of uids from
/etc/susu_suauth. If a user is in the list, he can su to root without
password.
Moreover it
A bad spelling in the comment of nohup.c
in coreutils-5.2.1
line 1:
/* nohup -- run a command immume to hangups,
^
'immume' should be 'immune'.

I think it'd be a reasonable feature to add, if someone took the time
to compose a complete patch for it. (Documentation is often the
hardest part.)

This is not the bug. This behaviour occurs because '*' gets exploded
by the shell to the list of files in current directory. Try
expr 100 \* 1
