Coreutils-5.2.1 make check fails on Solaris 9

[erwin . manuel]

I encountered an error running make check on coreutils-5.2.1 on Solaris 9.
I found a similar thread (
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-10/msg00035.html ),
where the problem turned out to be the windows client.  I use PuTTY 0.57 to
connect to the host.  I'd like to know if PuTTY is causing this error in my
case.

CmdLine: make check
...
