Anyone ** NOT ** seeing this?
`which sort` are you attempting to use? The cygcheck file didn't say.
cyg, Doug, thanks for your interest!
Doug, I will reply to your mail (separately).
64-@@ which sort

<==== prompt does not return
My original post only described the most relevant stuff. I expected that
everyone else had the same problem ...
I did not describe everything that I had tried ...
For instance:
strace -o junk sort tt | head, works
using any of the options -r, -n, -g, -h to sort, does NOT work
using the option -f to sort, does work
Consequently, I was a bit confused by the results. That is why I wanted
to know whether or not I was the only one with this problem.
... if I am the only one with this problem, I have to dig deeper (or let
it go).
Henri
