Has anyone tested the regression tests recently. Many problems, I
maybe think the ORDER BY is broken, as a Unixware person reported.
Can't beta release with this problem. Is it the new psort() NULL

I just got a chance to do it...the select_distinct test fails

QUERY: SELECT DISTINCT two, string4, ten
FROM temp
ORDER BY two using <, string4 using <, ten using <;

with:

  two|string4|ten
