For each fix, I usually try to determine when the bug was introduced and mention that in NEWS.
Both of these date back to the very beginning, since sort from textutils-1.13 (yes, I actually built it ;-) exhibits the same incorrect behavior, and the code in that function barely changed between my initial import in 1992 and that 1.13. How many more +16-year-old bugs are lurking? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
