Comment 1 John Ellson 2005-10-30 16:17:48 UTC

See also bug# 166328 "Thunderbird won't start after update" 
I theorize that that bug is also caused by the new sort.

Comment 2 Alexandre Oliva 2005-10-31 16:39:25 UTC

coreutils is not to blame, it's just following the POSIX standard.  Read
/usr/share/doc/coreutils-5.92/NEWS, search for `sort' in there.
