I didn't try your sort, but while implementing my own shell version of it, I
found that version sort wasn't good enough, as it makes some cases be worse.  I
suggest you test it against my own script, and see if you get the same ordering.
If not, you'll need to tweak it.  The most important thing is that _exit(2)
should go next to exit(2).

Here's what I did:
