[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I was seeing some odd behaviour with sort -n -u.  I ran sort -n -u dataset
and expected the same output as sort -n dataset| uniq but instead got
something different.  sortbug is a script file showing the usage described
above, dataset is the dataset.
here is the version I am running.

sort (GNU coreutils) 8.21
