Thank you for helping with GNU Coreutils.  However version 6.9 was
released 2007-03-22 over four years ago.  The current version of
coreutils is 8.13.  Since 6.9 there have been a lot of changes and
improvements.  Looking at the version control there are 2747 separate
changes committed between version 6.9 and the current version 8.13.
It is possible and dare I say likely that your the problem you are
reporting has already been fixed in the intervening years.

Could you try building the current version 8.13 and seeing if your
problem still exists?  Here is the latest release announcement with
information about obtaining the latest version.  Either way please
reply to this bug ticket so that we can track the progress.
