Re: consttraints.source

Hi,

I'm seeing similar problems, mainly due to failure to sort correctly
even though there is an "order by" clause.

I did a few tests and found that the sort sort seemed to fail when there
were multiple columns in the "order by" clause. (Not conclusive)

I don't know when it 1st appeared as I've been trying to compile on
SPARC-Linux for the past few attempts and this is the 1st time I've
had a fully working package to run the regression tests on!!

Thanks,
Keith.
