Comment 15 for bug 506798

Hi C,

I have not patched core utils myself.

The only modern version of coreutils which has functioned correctly (not heavily tested) was the ppa you linked to above - I don't know what patches have been added to that. The version I have is coreutils_20100119~8.4.5-e489f~ppa1_amd64.deb

We're just testing out Ubuntu 9.10 so I havne't been forced to roll out a fix yet and am hoping for a better option than the kamil patch (which i don't expect to be maintained upstream).

Cheers,
Tim
