PROBLEM: (DMO100411) (Patch ID: OSF440-051) ******** This patch fixes a problem in which "sort -i a_file >b_file" aborts with message "A line of the input file contains more than 20480 characters." when LANG = da_DK.ISO8859-1. PROBLEM: (CLD TKTRB0015) (Patch ID: OSF440-283) ******** This patch fixes a problem in which sort command aborts with message "A line of the input file contains more than 20480 characters." when running in a Japanese locale. PROBLEM: (TKTR10037 2 CMDS) (PATCH ID: OSF440-396) ******** When sorting large data files encoded in multibyte locales for Japanese Chinese, or Korean (especially when sorting on multiple keys), the following warning may occur: sort: Warning: A newline character was added to the end of the input. This warning is misleading. The real problem is that buffer length constraints cause incomplete lines to be written to the intermediate files used in the sort operation. This patch updates the sort utility software to ensure that it writes complete lines to temporary files and generates correct output. PROBLEM: (BCGM508F5, 87393, 87784) (PATCH ID: OSF440-622) ******** This patch corrects the behavior of the sort(1) command which now checks for duplicates with -c -u and -k flags. PROBLEM: (88511, 92964) (PATCH ID: OSF440-908) ******** A potential security vulnerability has been discovered, where under certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised. This may be in the form of improper file or privilege management. HP has corrected this potential vulnerability. This fix also addresses the problem wherein Performing a sort on a large database using numerous keys fails during the consolidation phase of the temporary files
