Subject: bug#7489: [coreutils] over aggressive threads in sort

Following up on my previous email, it appears to me that
the following line in mergelines_node is weird:

    node->dest -= lo_orig - node->lo + hi_orig - node->hi;

Surely there should be a "*" in front of that line?

(This does not fix the bug; perhaps it is a different bug?)
