[ldns-users] ldns_zone_sort does not always retains same order

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi,

I am trying to write zone comparator which will count additions,
deletions and changes between two zone file.

I am sorting both zones and then uses simple iterator to walk in all
domain records.

I have found that there is implementation error in ldns_zone_sort.  It
doesn't retain same order in two different files:

$ ldns-read-zone -z cz.1192527904 > cza
$ ldns-read-zone -z cz.1192531505 > czb
$ diff -w -U 3 cza czb
--- cza 2007-10-16 15:39:38.392629273 +0200
+++ czb 2007-10-16 15:40:10.392819897 +0200

I'll try to find where the error is... and report back.
