Re: cut (coreutils) 5.2.1

[Phil Aylesworth]

Bob,

Just to let you know, I have upgraded from Fedora 2 to Fedora 3 and
cut is now working fine. Fedora 3 uses the RPM package
coreutils-5.2.1-31 while in Fedora 2 it was coreutils-5.2.1-7.

Since it is the same version of coreutil, it must have been a compile
time problem.

Phil.
