Thanks for testing and reporting the results.

Unfortunately, from what I recall of NetBSD 5.x failures for the last few
coreutils releases, it had problems that seemed numerous and fundamental
enough that it wasn't worthwhile trying to address them.

Coreutils on NetBSD is slowly improving.
This bug is old enough to be closed.

If further NetBSD bugs appear, please do send to bugs-coreutils <at> gnu.org .
