Now that you mention it, it isn't the same source since we use some
Unix library sorting routines. It is fairly common for us to see
ordering differences between platforms, which is why you see so many
"order by" clauses in the regression tests. We can add one more (send
patches? :) and you would never know there was a difference in
underlying behavior...
