RE: Defect in XCU sort

["Jason Zions" <yyyyyyyy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now that's an interesting example.

cat foo | tee - 

Do you see two copies of foo in sequence on stdout, or do you see it
interleaved line by line? Or read-block by read-block? Since tee doesn't
buffer its output, I'd expect either of the last two possibilities.

(My implementation in SFU 3.5 creates a file called "-". Pretty clearly
non-conforming as the standard is currently written.)
