Subject: sort-columns fails on NetBSD
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.1 required=5.0 tests=FORGED_RCVD_HELO
autolearn=failed version=3.0.4
The sort program on NetBSD objects if the field separator is set to
the same value as the record separator. (sort-columns) tries to set
it that way so that the whole line is in the same field. However the
sort-columns code already makes sure there are no tabs in the region
being worked on so we can have the same effect by setting the field
separator to tab.
Patch is below.
cheers
