bug#72159: Numeric sorting does not work with 100.000 values

2024-07-17 Thread Martin MOKREJŠ
Hi, I think I found a bug in sort from coreutils-9.5 on Gentoo Linux: $ LANG=C sort -k 1 -k 3,3n -r somefile.tsv | head LH00211:37:222VFLLT1:1:2270:9996:7938:TACGTCACG MN908947.3 97.333 150 4 0 1 150 22850 22999 5.82e-46171 LH00211:37:222VFLLT1:1:227
