Which kernel? There was an off-by-one for odd array sizes in the original posted version that was quickly spotted: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11-rc4/2.6.11-rc4-mm1/broken-out/sort-fix.patch I've since tested all sizes 1 - 1000 with 100 random arrays each, so I'm fairly confident it's now fixed. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
