The latest /usr/bin/sort is causing lots of damage.
This comment refers to the fact that upstream coreutils no longer
accepts 'sort +0' syntax (instead use 'sort -k 1'). In fact,
coreutils has behaved this way for a long time; we have just been
patching in the old behaviour every time someone complains.
Sooner or later, these applications will have to get used to the POSIX
syntax.
