From: utzoo!decvax!cca!gwyn@Brl@sri-unix Newsgroups: net.unix-wizards Title: System III sort bug Article-I.D.: sri-unix.3219 Posted: Fri Sep 10 22:59:13 1982 Received: Sun Sep 12 02:44:18 1982 From: Doug GwynDate: 9 Sep 82 1:14:05-EDT (Thu) The UNIX System III "sort" program does not handle the -b flag correctly. In function skip(), the line if(tabchar==0&&fp->bflg[j]) should be changed to read if(tabchar==0||fp->bflg[j]) One more counter-example to taking the distributed code as the "standard", as suggested at the last USENIX conference. I suspect that this bug lurks in other flavors of UNIX also.
