  *** WARNING ***<br>
  The locale specified by the environment affects sort order.<br>
  Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses<br>
  native byte values.<br>

We could change this:<br>
<br>
  Report sort bugs to <a href="mailto:bug-coreutils@gnu.org">bug-coreutils@gnu.org</a><br>
<br>
to this:<br>
<br>
  Please use the --debug option when reporting bugs.<br>
