Hi Valery,

My LANG was set to en_US.utf8. I changed it to C as you suggested and that
worked! Thanks much for that tip.

Best regards,

Yeah, "LANG" is messing with a lot of programs that used to work well.
It's worse with the "sort" utility. en_US.utf8 is case insensitive,
and there is no way to restore proper case sensitivity to ordering
except to set LANG to something sane, like 'C' or 'POSIX'.

setting LC_COLLATE is sufficient for sorting, so you can have
don't have to give up the other bits of your locale.
