[Gnu-arch-users] [bug] Inventory does not fail gracefully when high-bit file names are encountered.

[Aaron Bentley]

$ tla inventory > /dev/null
/home/abentley/tla-1.2/src/tla/libarch/invent.c:901:botched invariant
    *a < *b
PANIC: exiting on botched invariant

This happens because there is a file with high-bit characters in its 
filename in the tree.

These filenames are compared as possibly-signed character arrays (e.g. 
negative) in right_order_for_recursion, but have been sorted as though 
they were unsigned elsewhere, leading to the botched invariant.
