Isn't that just exactly what you would expect, given that you're talking about sorting things in ascii order? The period collates very early in ascii sort order, whereas a lower-case t comes much later; hence if you specify the '.' you get the makefile at the start of the list instead of the end. > I need to verify this using a debug-built cygwin kernel, but it looks > like within newlib's argz_insert(), the call to realloc() is not > operating correctly in this instance. Sounds like it should be quite easy to PPAST then. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
