That certainly seems like a plausible possibility. Jim is very responsive to those types of bugs and patches. File a bug at bug-coreutils@gnu.org with the information you have. Once in the archive there I will file a bug in the upstream coreutils bug database with that as a reference. Or if you are a Savannah developer you can link the bug into the database yourself. But coreutils is also very dependent upon volunteer translators for the support of other languages. Any help that you can provide in that area is greatly appreciated. Bob
