new snapshot available: coreutils-6.11.85-c4a95

[Jim Meyering]

We're on track to make a stable release in the next week or so.
There is still a pending portability problem involving Mac OS ACLs.
It's nothing new, so I may defer the fix until after coreutils-6.12.

The most recent change was required to work around a new test failure
induced by a new version of libc on some systems:

  tests: skip when a debian libc6-2.7-11 bug makes printf segfault
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=c4a9551eee

"make check" passes for me on Fedora rawhide, Debian unstable, Solaris
10 and FreeBSD 6.1, but given the changes in the testing framework,
I'm sure to have introduced a few new problems there, so please give
this a try and report any failures.
