cyg, Doug, thanks for your interest!

Doug, I will reply to your mail (separately).

   <==== prompt does not return

My original post only described the most relevant stuff. I expected that
everyone else had the same problem ...

I did not describe everything that I had tried ...

For instance:

strace -o junk sort tt | head, works
using any of the options -r, -n, -g, -h to sort, does NOT work
using the option -f to sort, does work

Consequently, I was a bit confused by the results. That is why I wanted
to know whether or not I was the only one with this problem.

... if I am the only one with this problem, I have to dig deeper (or let
it go).

Henri
