Thank you for reporting that.  But we have seen it before.  If you
search the archives you will find several reports of that problem.

Yes, as you suspected that is old and the bug has been fixed in recent
versions.  Please update to get the fix.  There have been many changes
so be sure to review the NEWS file.

Latest stable release:
    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.gz   (6.3MB)
    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.bz2   (4.1MB)
    (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils)
