I'm guessing this is the fault of apr 1.4.6, which randomizes hash
table ordering for security reasons.  (Some hash tables are populated
by data controlled by untrusted users, and if the hash algorithm is
deterministic, they can unbalance it to the point of DOSing the
application.)

That is just an educated guess, I haven't investigated yet.

I agree with you that it seems like a useful feature to define some
sort of ordering, whether it be from the file, or longest match.  I'll
bring it up with upstream and see what people think.

Thanks,
Peter
