Ah, forgotten to tell: on some systems sort produces spurious verbose diagnostics on stderr (we have some reports on the list), so I've replaced this:
sort err 1>&2; rm -f err with sort err 1>&2 2>/dev/null; rm -f err Regards, Sergey _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list Bug-tar@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
