Thanks for the report.
Would you please try again, but using the
latest test release:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/textutils-2.0.15.tar.gz

If that still fails, please tell me the version of libc and
of your kernel.  I.e. send me the output of these commands:

  /lib/libc.so.6; uname -r

FYI, I can't reproduce it using linux-2.4.9 and libc-2.2.4:
