Could you please try this patch? http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00160.html
It should appear in the next coreutils version, but I'd like to verify that it works for you. That patch does work on HP-UX 11.11 but as far as I know nobody has checked it on Fedora Core. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
