How about, instead of copy/pasting into gedit, you copy the original file, from the original source and try it on that? Not copy-paste, get the file itself. Copy-pasting is likely where the change is likely happening. Character sets might be getting changed slightly(or maybe you have a different character set than me), whitespace mangled. (things like tabs get copy/pasted as spaces, usually.) Especially copy-pasting from a web browser tends to eat multiple spaces.

Gentoo linux.

 $ sort --version
