As you so aptly noted, colcrt is NOT part of coreutils, but part of
util-linux.  As this is not the util-linux mailing list, we can't help
you here, so I'm closing this as not a bug in the coreutils database.
However, that does not negate the fact that you have identified a
problem, nor does it prevent you from replying to this thread with more
details.

And if you do manage to report the bug correctly to the util-linux
folks, I would suggest that you also let them know that 'colcrt --help'
could be made more useful by displaying correct bug reporting
information, the way all of the coreutils already do.
