I meant this only as an RFC, to get feedback for my patch, from a 
functional point of view, it is not intended to be the final patch.
I have a Signed-off-by tag, are you referring to something else?
Can you give me more details about Upstream-Status? I've google'd this 
problem for a bit but could not find an existing patch for it, nor a bug 
filled for this matter. Since I don't know yet if what I'm fixing it's 
really a bug (or a misconfiguration on my side) I send this RFC to get a 
hold of whether I'm on the good track here or not. If this patch turns 
out to be valid, I'll get in touch with the guys from coreutils' mailing 
lists, and try to push it upstream.
