Description Chip Yamasaki 2001-02-01 02:00:24 UTC 
using /bin/sort on a file of approximately 360MB generates 82 tmp files 
and then continues racking up cpu time indefinitely with no additional 
output.

/bin/sort from textutils-2.0a-2 works fine on the same file on the same 
system.
Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-02-01 13:44:05 UTC 
2.0.11 should fix this.
