in thread Problem with a sort result

Hey, there are actually 2 bugs on perl!!!

The first is the one I described before where any number returned by the comparison subroutine is coerced into an IV, but then, there is a C function that just wraps that sub and which has a return type of I32, so the result is coerced again into a 32bit number.
