Certainly there is a problem in your 'sort' installation. Perhaps it 
depends on the locale? Try setting LC_ALL=C in your environment.

I cannot reproduce the problem with coreutils 8.4 built on Fedora 23 
x86-64, nor on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS x86 (this is the oldest Ubuntu release 
that is still supported). Please try building coreutils 8.4 on your 
platform, from source, and using that.

You may have to edit lib/stdio.h by hand, after it's built, to remove 
its declaration of 'gets'.
