'difference' did sometimes not unique, 'nil' treated incorrectly
Was that on the linux 8.6.2 also?

Everything is fine on the oficial rlease version 8.6.0.
The problems where introduced by changes in the sort algorithm necessary for the new faster 'count', 'difference', 'intersect' and 'unique'.
Note that 8.6.3 has still problems with empty lists in
'count' and 'sort' caused by changes in 'sort'.

Yes, nowbody should rush into this series of development releases. The changes made are a liitle bit more far reaching and things have to be tested well. But the only functions which could be affected are:
count, difference, intersect, unique and sort, which all use a changes sort algorithm.
