Dear Lazyweb^wDebian users,
I have specific sound problem, which I don't know how to address. The
problem manifests itself by "clicking" sound from my laptop speakers,
looking (hearing) as turning on old amplifier or just (re-/dis-)
connecting the cables.
It started a few months ago. I don't know -

I have some form of workaround.
When I know sort field separator (which was the case in my original
example), I can use that to overcome the limitations with:
$ LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8 sort -k1,1 -t',' test.csv
aph3,"APP",""
aph3,"MiB",""
aph3_devel,"TXT",""
# everything fine
$ LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8 sort
One more thing.
If I specify LC_COLLATE to C/POSIX, special characters sorting looks
fine, but I lose Polish characters ordering.
If I specify LC_COLLATE to pl_PL.UTF-8, Polish characters ordering is
fine, but sorting goes crazy with special characters.
Is it possible to retain both features then?

I compared libnsl versions, not libc.
I _guess_ that some lib is linked against libnsl, but not libc6 (is
that possible?). Then on older versions, it would work fine. On new,
it would try to load libnsl and fail because on new referred symbol

What else may that be?
