Hi Herbert, for some reason, 'sort' doesn't appear to be honouring LC_COLLATE; only
LC_ALL & LC_CTYPE appears to get things working with this particular invocation of
'sort':

su-4.0$ echo $LANG 
en_GB.UTF-8

su-4.0$ sort -u -k 3,3 builtins
     0  .       -s      dotcmd

su-4.0$ LC_ALL=C sort -u -k 3,3 builtins
    21  local   -a      localcmd
    14  export  -as     exportcmd
     3  alias   -au     aliascmd
     0  .       -s      dotcmd
     4  bg      -u      bgcmd
     7  chdir   cdcmd
    10  echo    echocmd
    18  hash    hashcmd
    22  printf  printfcmd
    23  pwd     pwdcmd
     2  [       testcmd
    33  type    typecmd
    34  ulimit  ulimitcmd

su-4.0$ LC_CTYPE=C sort -u -k 3,3 builtins
    21  local   -a      localcmd
    14  export  -as     exportcmd
     3  alias   -au     aliascmd
     7  chdir   cdcmd
    10  echo    echocmd
    18  hash    hashcmd
    22  printf  printfcmd
    23  pwd     pwdcmd
     0  .       -s      dotcmd
     2  [       testcmd
    33  type    typecmd
     4  bg      -u      bgcmd
    34  ulimit  ulimitcmd

su-4.0$ LC_COLLATE=C sort -u -k 3,3 builtins
     0  .       -s      dotcmd

Regards,

Matt.
