Greetings
I found a definition in the make file:
# The quote marks below contain a tab character
SORT_BY_TAB:=sort -T . --field-separator=" "
which means it's back to a tab problem which I think I can sort out
from the archives.
Thanks
Mike

FWIW, this seems to have broken in an attempt to get sort(1) to
suppor

Hmm... It works for me.
printf "one\0two\nabc\0xyz\n" | sort -t "\0" -k2,2 | tr "\000" " "
one two
abc xyz
printf "one\0two\nabc\0xyz\n" | sort -t "\0
L.S.
The documentation of sort has this to say:
To specify a zero byte (ASCII NUL (Null) character) as the field
separator, use the two-character string `\0', e.g., `sort -t '\0''.
Yet, this is what is produced:
$ sort -t '\0'
sort: multi-charact
