abrt version: 1.1.13 architecture: x86_64 Attached file: backtrace cmdline: sort --version component: coreutils crash_function: raise executable: /bin/sort kernel: 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.x86_64 package: coreutils-8.4-9.fc13 rating: 4 reason: Process /bin/sort was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT) release: Fedora release 13 (Goddard) time: 1288387960 uid: 500 comment ----- sort from coreutils just crashes and does not work at all. Output is sort: sort.c:1306: inittables_mb: Assertion `mblength != (size_t)-1 && mblength != (size_t)-2' failed. Aborted (core dumped) I'm using coreutils-8.4.9.fc13 on an updated F13 system (x86_64). I have also tried to rebuild coreutils-8.5-5.fc14.1.src.rpm for F13, but the result is the same. How to reproduce ----- 1. run "sort" in any way (like "sort --version")

Comment on attachment 457246 [details] proposed fix V2 (against rawhide) Thanks Kamil, looks fine, although some hunks in your new patch are IMHO unrelated to this issue :).
(In reply to comment #7) > Thanks Kamil, looks fine, although some hunks in your new patch are IMHO > unrelated to this issue :). Right, those hunks just eliminate some unrelated warnings in sort.c that were caused by the i18n patch. I forgot to mention it...
