Uh. I think this is a problem with your sort program. During "sorting"
htmerge uses an external sort program (detected using ./configure) and uses
this to sort files in the $TMPDIR.

But htmerge itself never writes files into TMPDIR, so the problem would be
with the sort program generating an incorrect filename. What sort (version)
are you using?
