Hi guys,
Regarding building NUT on mac os x (yosemite), I tried Charles tweaks
(ASCIIDOC_VERBOSE=-v + I?ve tried without internet connection) without success.
Quick explanation for Charles regarding NUT WEBSITE: I would like to build it on
my Mac because I?m experiencing some memory/performance issues with my VMs due
to my quite old computer.
bye, jean

I would like to do is split some of the sort pipelines up into intermediate
files so we can debug this better - I tried using gsort on my local copy, and it
did not work the same as the last time I tried it.

Sorry for the unresponsiveness.
To the problem: I think the 'stray character' is the 'V', as
it's the
newer one of the options used here (the dot notation is required by
the 'k' option and seems to be supported ever since the release of GNU
sort).

Newer versions of (GNU) sort should work as expected (I tested it also
on a recent, ~10, FreeBSD).

If we want to support older/other versions of sort we could simply
remove the 'V' option (and lose its pros) from here (at the very end
of the line):
