    Problem Text

    Here is the test strategey, from nm.sh:

    ###########################################################################
    #
    # Strategy:
    #
    # The -v option sorts by symbol value. Call nm with the -A, -P,
    # and -v options. Extract each line that begins with <file>.
    # Make a copy of this list and sort the copy with -n. Extract the
    # relevant field (4th) and get rid of any blank lines.
    # Extract the 4th field of the original, also getting rid of blank
    # lines, The two extracted files should agree.
    # NOTE: This strategy depends on the -A and -P options.
    #
    ###########################################################################

    The test uses "cut" to extract the fourth field:

    cat nm_copy_15 | cut -d " " -s -f 4 | sed '/^$/d' >
    nm_cut_15_s

    This fails to extract the symbol value in the case where the symbol
    name is null. This can occur on our system. Here is output from
    nm -v -A -P:
