Summary: Here's a fix

I researched the problem -- actually there were two separate problems --
and below is a diffs of rfuncs.c:

731c731,735
< 	return *p1 > *p2;
---
> 	if(*p1 > *p2)
> 		return(1);
> 	else if(*p1 < *p2)

> 	lg_array = NULL;

I assume that the patch will be included in patchlevel three (and has already
been forwarded to Rick Adams).
