I can now test the sort and the random is NOT the
problem.

I need the comparisons so that I can reconstruct that I can
map there choices and reconstruct the original order.

  Thanks any how.
If anyone else would like to know how bucket sort works
then you need to speak up.

NOPE !   It is somewhere in my_sort.

I will send it to YOU.  I am trying to create compression.
and I don't want the source floating about.   
        THANKS.

I haven't been able to track the Problem as of yet.
I have noticed that it doesn't seem to occur unless.
"size" is set above 200 BUT it might occur as low as
128.    IT hasn't so far though.  :-]

Good luck tracking the problem.    I haven't a clue.
