Where exactly can that stable quicksort be found? rtl/inc/sortbase.pp
looks pretty much like standard quicksort to me.

Surely that's a bug in the comparison functions that should be
fixed and
not something that can be blamed on introsort. If a comparison
function
is faulty, then pretty nuch any sorting algorithm can be
considered to
have unpredictable behaviour.
This *can* be blamed on IntroSort, because Stability (order of equal
elements is kept) is an attribute of sorting algorithms and IntroSort
is *not* considered stable while QuickSort *can* be stable depending
on the implementation and ours *is*.
