Yes, please. Also, what version of OSF? I see failures on OSF V4.0 1229, but none involving sort. These are the ones that fail for me: chown/preserve-root readlink/can-e readlink/can-f readlink/can-m Failures like these (only on such an old OS) aren't worth holding up a test release. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
