Thanks Alex for report - fix will be similar to the yesterday's fix for this issue from Fedora - http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/2012-January/700258.html .

Note: this crash does occur only with mutlibyte locales (and is introduced by multibyte patch)

There were actually three independent bugs in the code.  See the comments inside the patch for details.

The fixes are now included in coreutils-8.15-2.fc17.
