>Description:
	with the recent changes to usr.bin/sort, sort is completely broken.
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd regress/usr.bin/sort; make regress
Note: some sort(1) implementations (for example GNU sort) may not pass these
tests - this suite was made to fit sort(1) using (non-stable) radixsort(3),
sort(1) using other algorithm may give different results, though still
conform to standard.

Obsolescent and nonstandard features recognized, if any:
	+1 -2
	displaced -o
	-s stable sort
	-S non-stable sort
	-T tempdir (not exercised)
