What could be causing this?
I remember hearing somewhere that the ext filesystem internally orders directory entries alphabetically by filename, and readdir() of course returns them that way, while ReiserFS stores them in some sort of special order internally, and the readdir() doesn't return sorted entries. Perhaps libtool (or some other program) is parsing the output of 'ls' or something and is implicitly depending on the alphabetical ordering, instead of piping the output to 'sort'? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
