It seems your message was lost and not replied to in a year.
Sorry about that.

From your question it appears you are asking a programming question,
but this is the GNU coreutils mailing list - used to report
bugs in GNU coreutils programs (e.g. sort/head/tail/cut/dd).

As such, I'm closing this as "not a bug".
