[Rd] sort infelicity

Hello:
sort(c('A', 'b', 'C')) seems to produce different answers in R
interactive than in "R CMD check", at least under both Fedora 13 and
Windows 7 with Windows 7 sessionInfo() copied below:
In interactive, the result is c('A', 'b', 'C'); with R CMD
check, it is c('A', 'C', 'b'). This produced the infelicity of a bug in
"R CMD check" that I could not replicate with interactive R because a
*.Rd file contained the equivalent example of
stopifnot(all.equal(sort(c('A', 'b', 'C')), c('A', 'b', 'C'))): It
worked just fine interactively but failed R CMD check.
Once I understood this problem, it was easy to fix. However, it
was not easy to find, especially since I got the same problem under
Fedora 13 Linux and Windows 7.
This seems to be a sufficiently obscure anomaly that I thought
someone might like to see it reported here.
Best Wishes,
Spencer Graves
