/*
 * Sort a list of struct DICT by using an iterative bottom-up merge sort.
 * This particular piece of code took me ages to do (well, 2 days + 3 weeks
 * research) and provides a FAST way of sorting a linked list without the
 * overhead of increasing memory usage via malloc() or brk(). Why ? Because I
 * have to assume that there is no more memory, thats why. It's all Brian
 * Thompsett's fault! Really! Filling the swapspace on a SparcStation2 and
 * expecting Crack to survive! Argh! 8-)
