Sort behaves differently: cron vs. user shell



I recently made an entry in Bugzilla (# 204562) for the following problem:

/bin/sort uses the LC_ALL environment variable to determine how to sort.  There
seems to be a discrepancy between how this variable is set in a user shell and
cron's environment.  

The bottom line is that this causes scripts to behave differently when
run in a user shell vs. cron.

My bug was closed as "isn't definitely problem of cron."

I do think this is a bug.  A script that uses sort should execute the
same when run by a user or on behalf of a user by cron.  What component
should this be be filed under?
