  It's what IBM might consider a "Feature".  It's not really a bug, but more
of a difference of opinion on how SORT should work.

  Anyhow, there are very simple solutions to the problem, if that is all that
the problem is:

  1) Use SORT.EXE from MS-DOS.  (Being sure that OS/2 is reporting the correct
     DOS version for that version of SORT.EXE, under Dos Settings..)

  2) Use REAL "MS-DOS" under OS/2.

  3) Code around the problem.

  I'm sure 1 or 2 will work for now.
