[Bug 599000] sort from coreutils is broken when used in some locales (very slow and crashes)

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=599000 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=599000#c5 --- Comment #5 from Philipp Thomas <pth@novell.com> 2010-06-17 14:13:55 CEST --- As I stated, please run our sort in the C locale. But on rereading your initial report you already stated that in the C locale sort speed is ok. This confirms that it is indeed the multibyte processing that slows down things and that in turn is something we can't change. BTW, could you possibly attach a test case with which I can reproduce the memory exhaustion? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
