Bug #13873 was found during a coreutils update long ago. I have been
running coreutils 8.6 and 8.7 for a month and a half now and I haven't
run into the issue yet. With the bug that you found, it sounds like it
is time to update coreutils. I will try to do it when I get back in
town this week if some one doesn't beat me to it.
