You got me wrong :) It's the sequence in Glossary that got shuffled. What is the most logical sequence there. Alphabetic-lexicographic. the 'sed....|sort >>xx[15];diff ...' showed that I was aware of the shuffleness in Configure. Otherwise a plain diff would have been far more informative All applied. Re-rsynced and re-build all. make test still OK. Pheeiw. Phase one completed successfully.
