Maybe, but it's pretty unfriendly for us to complain about a library
issue, if it is one, by failing an Assert().  People with
non-assert-enabled builds will just get wrong answers.  Yuck.

Thinking about how this could happen, I believe that one possibility
is that there are two strings A and B and a locale L such that
strcoll_l(A, B, L) and memcmp(strxfrm(A, L), strxfrm(B, L)) disagree
(that is, the results are of different sign, or one is zero and the
other is not).

I don't have an environment handy to reproduce this, but it would be
nifty if someone could figure out exactly what strings are failing and
then provide the strcoll result and the strxfrm blobs for those
strings.
