Hi Linda,
Do you realize that by merely sending a message to bug-coreutils,
you have created an entry in our bug-tracking software?

Did you read the above?
*Ahem*. "Do you realize that merely by closing out the bug and not
addressing the issue you defeated the whole point of reporting
a downstream distributor's concern"?
I won't bother to play re-open the bug -- as my guess if you
can't get it from my original post was that it was fixed, but
as I coudln't address his concerns, I felt it needed to be
addessed from upstream -- thus the bug report. I don't think
closing it out without addressing the downstream integrator's
concern (openSuSE), is the clearest response that one might
make.
