I have noticed that on my windows box and ghc 6.12.3 I get the return list for System.Direcotry.getDirectoryContents in reverse sorted order. This is a change from previous observed behavior and I would consider it a bug. I would like to verify that it is not just me.

I think, getDirectoryContents returns a list in unspecified order. So a change in behavior wouldn't be a bug.
