> Hi -- We are testing RHEL 5.5 and we noticed that the below command is not working in 5.5 -- It works in 4.7
> I did notice that the version of the sort command is different between versions, but I didn't expect it to break.

> Am I just using it incorrectly in 5.5 or could this be a bug.

> Thank you very much!
