Thanks for the mail. The request to test it may have been directed
at me, but I'm not quite sure how to do that. The patches in the mail
won't apply to the latest coreutils package, and there doesn't appear
to be a gnulib package.
For the record, here's the temporary patch I used. It seems simpler, and
I haven't found any problems yet. Though this change is specifically
for the buggy HP-HUX 10.20, it has (AFAIK) no impact on the behavior
of any other platforms:
