Hi Javier, Thanks for the report and patch. I confess I haven't looked closely at either, but suspect the problem is fixed in the latest snapshot: http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz 8.6 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma 3.6 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz.sig http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma.sig Would you please confirm and let us know?
