Not a bug. We changed the POSIX version supported by default. Therefor obsolete
syntax like +POS isn't supported anymore. Quoting from
»info coreutils 'sort invocation'« :
This obsolete behavior can be enabled or disabled with the
`_POSIX2_VERSION' environment variable (*note Standards conformance::);
it can also be enabled when `POSIXLY_CORRECT' is not set by using the
obsolete syntax with `-POS2' present.
Scripts intended for use on standard hosts should avoid obsolete
syntax and should use `-k' instead. For example, avoid `sort +2',
since it might be interpreted as either `sort ./+2' or `sort -k 3'. If
your script must also run on hosts that support only the obsolete
syntax, it can use a test like `if sort -k 1 /dev/null
2>&1; then ...' to decide which syntax to use.
