I'm not seeing anything broken in there. Please attach a test case.

If you're referring to the fact that the sort order is

a
Ab
b

rather than

Ab
a
b

That's because your locale is case insensitive and you can return to the old 
behavior by setting LC_COLLATE=C in /etc/sysconfig/i18n.
This has been the case ever since locale support was added to the GNU tools.

Is that what you're talking about?

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-10-30 13:10:52 UTC

Assuming my assumption was correct due to lack of feedback.
