The example below exhibits a bug in "sort (GNU textutils) 2.0a"
as available in "Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)" running on a
K7 processor.

The example appears to work fine in "Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman)"
where the relevant command is "sort (GNU textutils) 2.0".  The
underlying processor was a K6.

Hoping this information is useful,
John Abbott.

EXAMPLE: the output of the sort command is the same as its input...
cat > file <<EOF
1
2
1
EOF
sort -n file
