Is there some sort of "sort" problem going on here?
Possibly. On my computer, the file contents you gave are not sorted
according to the "C" locale.
version 2.0.21
Do I need a new version?
The address you mailed, bug-textutils@gnu.org, and the version string
suggest your system has a fairly old version of comm. (bug-coreutils now
covers the combined suite of what used to be textutils, fileutils, and
sh-utils.)
However, I'm not sure that upgrading will help here. I'd suggest sorting
both files and running comm in the same environment, and if that doesn't
work, try a newer coreutils release.
Cheers,
Phil
