Dear fellow freedom-fighters, I have come across a bug that results in a segmentation fault in GNU sort 2.0.14 shipped with among others Red Hat 7.2. "sort --version" doesn't reveal what version of the textutils package it comes from (unless 2.0.14 refers to textutils as a whole) -- my apologies if this is not an up to date version of GNU sort.
The bug is triggered by merging of files, when one of the files is empty, e.g: ----8<------ $ touch foo $ echo "moo" > cow $ sort -m cow foo # works fine... moo $ sort -m foo cow # ..but when first file is empty... Segmentation fault ----8<------ -- /ali :wq _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
