JDK-4103436 - Collator.compare not working properly
Description

Name: rlT66838			Date: 07/17/97


Collator.compare() method returns bogus results
if either of the strings being compared have
spaces in them.
Ex: 
o Collator.compare("abcd", "abcd e") returns 0.
o Collator.compare("abcd e", "abcd f") returns 0.

Comments
EVALUATION This was a bug at one time, but it can no longer be reproduced. It was probably fixed in the huge putback that Senthil and Norbert Schatz did in November.

WORK AROUND Name: rlT66838 Date: 07/17/97 None. However, using CollationKey seems to work fine but it is siginificantly slow. ======================================================================
