That is my recollection as well. We would do well to take a look at the code (and CVS logs) from NetBSD; they may have solved the i18n issues by now. There may also be a few missing features: someone mentioned -g, which is apparently similar to yet somehow different from -n, in weird and wonderful ways which the authors did not bother documenting. Last I checked, it also (rather surprisingly) lacked -u (unique), which is required by POSIX.
