Thanks, I did not know that. BTW, the best fix would be to edit tstone
in the test suite:
- sort < pw2 | uniq > pw3
+ sort < pw2 | LC_COLLATE=C uniq > pw3
Then it won't matter whether you run it directly or using "make test"
In my opinion this is a bug in uniq. National sorting order is one
thing, but who in their right mind would actually expect or *want* uniq
to filter out 'pass²' because there is a 'pass2'?
