I presume this arises because head's reading ahead (if not head, then
glibc on head's behalf), and when head's printed enough lines it simply

Hi,
When 'sort' is fed input without spaces, one would expect that
sort -t . [OTHER-OPTIONS]
produces the same sort order as
tr '.' ' ' | sort [OTHER-OPTIONS]
Right? That's not the case with GNU sort 6.7:
$ printf '8.0.2\n8.1.0\n8.0.3\n10.1.0\n8.0.11\n11.0.0\n' input
$ cat input |
Hi,
On MacOS X 10.3.9 (Darwin 7.9), coreutils-6.7 builds fine but gives a failure

Hi,
When I use the fchdir emulation on a Linux 2.4.x system (that doesn't have
openat() and similar), the coreutils-6.7 tests install/basic-1 and mkdir/p-3
fail. The reason is this part:
$ mkdir -p sub1/d
$ cd sub1/d
$ chmod a-rx ..
$ chmod a-r .
$ ginstall -d rel/a rel/b
ginstall: cannot create
Hi,
Following Jim's and Paul's ideas for portability of the coreutils to
BeOS, Woe32 and DJGPP, which all lack an fchdir(), here is a first working
fchdir module.
The module installs wrappers around open(), close(), opendir(), closedir(),
dup(), dup2(). Quite heavy; especially the relation to

POSIX says that Comparisons shall be based on one or more sort keys extracted

It appears that GNU sort reinserts field separators here,
