I was able to determine that coreutils was not the problem + by using the precise version of coreutils with the raring eglibc version. In that case the problem went away. In addition I've compiled the precise version for raring, and the problem is not present. * Versions affected: This affects current Lucid, Oneiric, Precise and Quantal eglibc versions. - 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.12 + 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.12 2.13-20ubuntu5.3 2.15-0ubuntu10.4 2.15-0ubuntu20.1 But does not affect Raring eglibc ( 2.17-0ubuntu1 )
