I'm sorry for leaving that out.  The second machine was running
coreutils-5.96, same as the first one.  More significantly, the sort
order that it gives:
a
á
aá
áa
az
áz
azzzzá
ázzzza

is the order I've seen on all unix/linux machines I've used in the
past, and with all versions of coreutils (I'm the Irish localizer so
I've installed just about every release since 5.0).

Can anyone with a Debian-like distribution reproduce the strange sort
order I'm seeing?

á
áa
aá
az
áz
ázzzza
azzzzá
