bug report, sort command

[Peter Alefounder]

I have recently installed Debian 4.0r1 with sort version 5.97.

The sort command ignores the characters # & % = _ and, for all I know,
other characters as well. Looks like it is acting as if I had used
the -d option, which I had not.

I set LC_ALL=C as suggested in the man page. The sort command
under my previous system, SuSE 9.1, worked as I would expect.

Regards,
Peter Alefounder.
