Sorry, I cannot accept the rejection, because the
problem cannot be fixed at macro level unless
* some characters (backslash, parentheses, ...)
must be forbidden,
* octal escape sequences are used for *every* character
of the destination name
(otherwise a large amount of programming work is needed
to prevent that the bug is triggered.)
Therefore I have written patch #3886 that fixes the
comparison function `str_less_str' that is used
for the sorting of destination names.
Yours sincerely
Heiko
