** Bug fixes
- `sort --version' and `sort --help' fail, as they should
- when their output is redirected to /dev/full.
-
- `su --version > /dev/full' now fails, as it should.
-
- uniq -c now uses a SPACE, not a TAB between the count and the
- corresponding line, as required by POSIX.
-
kill no longer tries to operate on argv[0] (introduced in 5.0.1)
Why wasn't this noticed? Although many tests use kill, none of
them made an effort to avoid using the shell's built-in kill.
`[' invoked with no arguments no longer evokes a segfault
+ rm without --recursive (aka -r or -R) no longer prompts regarding
+ unwritable directories, as required by POSIX.
+
+ uniq -c now uses a SPACE, not a TAB between the count and the
+ corresponding line, as required by POSIX.
+
expr now exits with status 2 if the expression is syntactically valid,
and with status 3 if an error occurred. POSIX requires this.
expr now reports trouble if string comparison fails due to a collation error.
+ `sort --version' and `sort --help' fail, as they should
+ when their output is redirected to /dev/full.
+
+ `su --version > /dev/full' now fails, as it should.
