Dear ABCL developers,

Recently I started to investigate the different CL sort implementations and found that stable-sort in ABCL does not execute as required. The problem is that stable-sort is only stable for lists and not for all type of sequences (i.e., elements considered equal by the predicate should stay in their original order).

Filed as [ticket #196][#196] with your [patch committed in r13838][r13838].

Thanks for the succinct report, test case, and quick patch!

Thanks! It's only a quick fix. I will see if I can prepare a better solution for the long term.

Cheers, Jorge Tavares
