A friend sent me the results from running on a FC4 system. guin:~$ printf "one\0two\nabc\0xyz\n" | sort -t "\0" -k2,2 | tr "\000" " " one two abc xyz guin:~$ printf "one\0two\nabc\0xyz\n" | sort -t "\0" -k1,1 | tr "\000" " " abc xyz one two guin:~$ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz) guin:~$ So it seems to be fixed there too. Therefore in your case of running on FC3 it appears that upgrading to FC4 would solve your problem.
