The output is different, but is not sorted by 'HIT'
actually.

Looking into this...

After reviewing the code, I have not been able to trace the
problem. I do not have access to a log sample to see if I
can reproduce the problem but I have a few questions for you:

1: You mentioned in your newsgroup posting that you are
running FWReport on an alpha. Do you get the same results
processing the reports on an i386 system? (If you don't
have any *nix systems running i386, have you tried running
it on Windows under Cygwin?)

2: Which version of PERL are you running?

3: Is it possible for you to send me a log sample for me to
try to reproduce the problem? (You may want to send it email
rather than publically posting it on the bug report :)) I
know that sometimes this is a problem, but it would make it
easier for me to determine where the problem is occuring.

Because I am unable to duplicate this error, I am closing this
bug. I do not have access to a DEC alpha and everything
seems to work on the x86 platform. The code involved is
extremely simple and should not be at issue.
