If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Huewe commit 747d35bd9bb4ae6bd74b19baa5bbe32f3e0cee11 upstream. Depending on the implementation strcmp might return the difference between two strings not only -1,0,1 consequently if (strcmp (a,b) == -1) might lead to taking the wrong branch -> compare with < 0 instead, which in any case is more canonical.
