The usual reason this doesn't work is because the files are not sorted
in the collating sequence specified by the LC_COLLATE locale. Both
the sort and the join must be in the same locale. I don't know what
is wrong here yet but often people will sort in one locale and join in
a different locale.
Try the --check-order option to verify.

The smaller you can make your test cases the better. Easier to debug.
