     [...]I believe I've found another bug in `sort'.

     pq rs 1 t
     $ /bin/sort +0.6 -0.7 </tmp/sort.in
     pq rs 1 t
     a b c 2 d

     Unix sort produced the answer I expected: sort on the single character
     in column 6.  GNU sort produced different results, because it disagrees
     on the interpretation of the key-end spec "-M.N".  Unix sort reads this
     as "skip M fields, then N characters"; but GNU sort wants it to mean
     "skip M fields, then either N characters or the rest of the current
     field, whichever comes first".  This extra clause applies only to
     key-ends, not key-starts.
