bug#9418: Fwd: bug#9418: case sensitivity buggy in sort

(at least in en and the euro locales) for nearly 20 years now. All w/o resolution. The other place this hits, and where many first saw it, is that it allows a command like 'rm [a-z]*' to unlink(2) files like Makefile. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6

bug#7877: sleep takes undocumented hex args

2011-01-28 Thread James Cloos
e sleep command in the first place. the reason would be those cases where hex float literals are the default output format for some given language. I don't know that any exist now, but I also don't see any reason to preclude them. Hex floats are, generally speaking, a nice progression. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
