FYI, the consequences are not negligible. I've just added this coreutils NEWS entry on both the trunk and the b5_9x branch: ** Bug fixes sort and tac now use the replacement mkstemp function, and hence are no longer subject to limitations (of 26 or 32, on the maximum number of files from a given template) on HP-UX 10.20, SunOS 4.1.4, Solaris 2.5.1 OSF1/Tru64 V4.0F. _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list bug-gnulib@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
