This is a module bug.  Those two modules apparently have
mis-alphabetized entries.  If Perl and C have different default sort
orders, that is ultimately the cause.  New LD modules get sorted by
Sword as they're being built.

All we need to do is rebuild these two texts, which I will do as soon as
I have finished merging ICU 2.0 updates (a much larger task that I had
thought it would be) and fixing Diaspora.  I was considering updating
Smith anyway, using ThML as the markup.
