Uh Tim, you need to back it out and do it now.  *YOU* backed out ache's
rev 1.7 (it seems w/o discussion):

    ----------------------------
    revision 1.7
    date: 1999-10-24 04:08:15;  author: ache;  state: Exp;  lines: +18 -4
    Use strcoll to provide the same results as sort and comm
    Use LINE_MAX for max line size (as comm does)
    ----------------------------

Ache knows a hell of a lot more about locale issues than us native
English speakers do (ache vs. CJK people is an equal battle).  He should
be listened to in these cases.
