Dejagnu doesn't run tests in alphabetical order, it runs them in the order
the tests appear in the directory, which may be alphabetical if the tree
was checked out just before building but not if it was checked out a few
years ago and updated with cvs update since then.  This is mostly OK for
comparing results (except e.g. if you want to compare after checking out a
new tree or doing something else that changes the order of the directory),
but alphabetical would be better.
