[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,
there seems to be a bug in Ubuntu's 10.10  sort command.
I suspect that it defaults to the  -f option  now which I think is wrong.
e.g.
{  echo a
   echo j
   echo A
   echo i
   echo AA
   echo B
} | sort

produces
a
A
AA
B
i
j

instead of
A
AA
B
a
i
j
--
With kind regards,

Peter
