This thread contains the bug-introducing patch in message
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00160.html
This is commit 553d347d3e08e00ee4f9df520b37c964c3f26e28.
That commit removed the 'assume -e' part of the POSIX description of
the -COLUMN option from GNU pr.
Reverting this patch (i.e., adding the one deleted line back to pr.c)
fixes *this* bug, but then re-introduces the bug reported in 2007, i.e.,
sub-test 'merge-w-tabs' of test 'pr-tests.pl' fails.
Thanks,
Erik
