I just installed SuSE 9.1 and discovered that the sort-function installed has

If I do
sort <<EOLIST
/ (everyone)

/tmp (everyone)
/disk (everyone)
EOLIST
I get
<snip>
/disk (everyone)
/ (everyone)
/tmp (everyone)
/var (everyone)

I downloaded source from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/coreutils/ and configured
and compiled it on aforementioned installation, and the sort executable
behaves exactly the same.

I'll take it further with suse.
Sorry for the disturbance.
