Re: sort "b" option in pos2 has strange effect

[Jim Meyering]

For each fix, I usually try to determine when the bug was introduced
and mention that in NEWS.

Both of these date back to the very beginning, since sort from
textutils-1.13 (yes, I actually built it ;-) exhibits the same incorrect
behavior, and the code in that function barely changed between my initial
import in 1992 and that 1.13.

How many more +16-year-old bugs are lurking?
