The following report was recently submitted to the UNIX* Support
Group.  I am reposting it for the benefit of the network community.

PROBLEM:
  The "-f" option of "sort(1)" does not  perform  as  advertised,
when  used  in  conjunction  with  the  "-u"  option.   Given the
following  three  examples,  the  output  hinges  on  the   first
occurance  of  the text.  The word is not folded to lower-case as
described other than for comparision purposes.

REPEAT-BY:
        $ sort -fu <
