Hi Jordan,
/usr/bin/sort is broken on mother. I renamed it to /usr/bin/sort.broken
and copied over a copy of sort from FreeBSD 2.1, which seems to work fine.
I figured I should let you know, so we don't send out FreeBSD 2.2 with
a broken utility.
Here is an example:
/usr/bin/sort.broken +0.5 -0.12 << EOF
5 1401
30 30311
150 721
187 1241
215 606
EOF
This comes out as
5 1401
30 30311
150 721
187 1241
215 606
but it should be
215 606
150 721
187 1241
5 1401
30 30311
