Yes the failures, are there for a reason, i have a patch for that (i.e the cleanup), but since the orignal author replied,</div>

i wanted to get his opinion, what i wanted to know was are gnu coreutils doing it wrong (pending/fold seems to depict the same behaviour) or am i understanding the posix spec wrong?</div>

Yay tests. Applied, since any tests are better than none.<br>
<br>
Although I note that:<br>
<br>
TEST_HOST=1 make test_fold<br>
<br>
Produces failures. You might want to try:<br>
<br>
VERBOSE=fail TEST_HOST=1 make test_fold<br>
<br>
Also, checking my notes, I'm not sure off the top of my head what the difference<br>
between "fold" and "fmt" is? There's a promoted fmt command (from the android<br>
guys I think), but fold is posix. Looks like they do kind of similar things?<br>
