I'm hoping to release coreutils-5.94 soon. If anyone sees
something on the trunk that they want but that's not yet
in 5.94, please speak up now. So far, my policy has been
to apply only bug fixes.
Hello,
Here's a little patch about some memory leaks found with valgrind, on
sort, tail and uptime.

DecimalHi,
I used du in 2 formats, and the number os bytes doesn't correspond to the
number os megabytes.
Shouldn't i have another value for the 2du -sb ?

As du --help explains, du -b is not the same thing as
du --block-size=1. It also sets the --apparent-size option,
which explains the discrepancy you

The changes that you propose will slow the programs down slightly and
make them slightly bigger. The changes won't save any memory, since

Thanks for the report, but those aren't really leaks.

Is there any interest in adding a flag to od to support byteswapping?
Would dd conv=swab | od suffice?
No. dd conv=swab only swaps byte pairs, thus 32bit or 64bit
structured data will not appear correctly unswapped:
