+Summary: 0001591: inconsistent behavior of sort -z
+
+URL: http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=1591
+http://www.busybox.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/busybox/coreutils/sort.c?rev=21004&r1=20435&r2=21004&makepatch=1&diff_format=u
+
+Description:
+
+busybox sort -z does:
+use NUL instead of EOL on input
+
+GNU sort -z does:
+use NUL instead of EOL on input and output
+
+GNU sort -z documents:
+use NUL instead of EOL on input
+
+Additional Information:
+
+Note that sort -z is not part of any standard. But several applications
+(e. g. GNU findutils updatedb) depends on the NUL-on-output behavior.
+
+GNU sort documentation bug was reported to coreutils maintainers.
+
