Severity: normal

  Hi,

  When LC_ALL=pt_BR, "sort" seems to work as "sort -f" always. So,
there is no way to turn off option "-f". When LC_ALL=C it works as
expected. See examples below.

  Thanks,
   Pedro

$ export LC_ALL=C
$ echo -en "i123\nI456\nj1\nh1\n" | sort
I456
h1
i123
j1

$ echo -en "i123\nI456\nj1\nh1\n" | sort -f
h1
i123
I456
j1

$ export LC_ALL=pt_BR
$ echo -en "i123\nI456\nj1\nh1\n" | sort
h1
i123
I456
j1

$ echo -en "i123\nI456\nj1\nh1\n" | sort -f
h1
i123
I456
j1
