Blocks currently store symbols in one of three different ways: using a
hash table, using an unsorted list, or using a sorted list.  Most
blocks are built by buildsym.c, which use only the former two
mechanisms.  Sorted list blocks are only being produced by
mdebugread.c.  And, to make matters worse, jv-lang.c produces one
unsorted list block for which the predicate BLOCK_SHOULD_SORT matches;
the chain of events by which GDB actually treats that block correctly
is very tenuous.

Um, didn't BLOCK_SHOULD_SORT get deleted?
