Created attachment 183406 [details, diff] coreutils-7.1 files patch
please do me a big favour and report this patch upstream e.g. something like http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-02/msg00280.html, and report back to us the reference, so I can put it in the patch (and hopefully drop it in the next version). Applied your patch in the meanwhile, thanks.
