Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2008-06-05 09:39:05 UTC 
This is a locale problem. The run-parts script should temporarily switch locale
to 'C'.

# Ignore *~ and *, scripts
for i in $1/*[^~,] ; do

should be changed to

# Ignore *~ and *, scripts, and sort in C locale
for i in $(LC_ALL=C; echo $1/*[^~,]) ; do
