 Created an attachment (id=18782)
 Simplified test case

+
+I was able to whittle the test case down to a 3-way string comparison
+that gives inconsistent results (see above attachment 18782).
+
+Of course, fixing that may not fix the whole issue, but it would be a
+start.
+
+Some notes:
+- The original test case (attachment 17887) works fine for me if the
+SortedList is constructed with
+CaseInsensitiveComparer.DefaultInvariant as the IComparer, but the
+problems are there if Comparer.DefaultInvariant is used - I guess case
+sensitive comparison is the underlying problem.
+- This bug may be related to <a
+href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=78748">Bug 78748</a>,
+which also was a collection problem caused by broken string comparisons.
