Comment:

 This was ticket #540 and is fixed in SVN. The problem was that mergesort
 had a bug that caused it to not sort strings stably. Your test program
 should print 2 for the number of iterations when the sort works. A clearer
 test is that lexsort should produce the sequence 1..n  on the second sort.
 I've attached that version of the program.
