I don't get that behavior; please see the transcript below.
As the transcript shows, I am using the sort from GNU textutils 5.3.0
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.3.0.tar.gz> and am
using the en_US locale under Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody). Perhaps
you could try coreutils 5.3.0 and see if you can still reproduce the
problem; if you can, please specify the locale and platform that you
are using.
