Coreutils 5.0.1: spurious error from uniq

$ echo '+: +:' | uniq -u uniq: string comparison failed: No such file or directory uniq: Set LC_ALL='C' to work around the problem. uniq: The strings compared were `+:' and `+:'. The whole error checking in memcoll and xmemcoll is completely bogus. The C standard says in 7.5#3:

Bug in uniq 2.0

I think I have spotted a bug in uniq. I know 2.1 is out but it is not in debian stable yet. If you need the files I used to do this, let me know. They are a couple megs in size, and one is about 200K lines. Here is an example of it performing out of spec: transmit:~# grep 04-00-0002287 folderli

FYI: coreutils-5.0.1: bug in kill

sort: unfold case?

hello gnuists, now that locale sorting is de rigeur, i find sort wanting of an option to unfold case. it is not always desirable to abandon all the varied attributes of one's locale by specifying LC_COLLATE=C sort. in lieu of that or in the meantime, i am busy looking for how to define myself an
