Thanks for your report. I can't reproduce the problem with coreutils 5.2.1; perhaps you could try upgrading to it <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.gz>. If you still have the problem after that, we'll probably need to know more about the situation, e.g., a copy of the test file, the output of the "locale" command, your operating system version, etc. Possibly the problem occurs only on Crays, due to some invalid portability assumption? However, I just now briefly scanned the new tail.c and couldn't find anything along those lines. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
