Older gtk+ libraries had broken gtk_clist_sort() method that basically 
corrupted the data in the list (random pointers at the beginning of the 
list). (the broken method was there allegedly for two years before the 
problem was localized).

This has been fixed in roughly gtk+-1.2.8 IIRC so this workaround can be 
slowly phased out.
