	When I perform a:
	mkisofs -d -L -l -v -o /dist/party3rd.img ../party3rd

	The debug that is put out does not correspond to your statement on
the directory being sorted alphabetically.  The output will say:

	Scanning ../party3rd
	Scanning ../party3rd/advfs
	Scanning ../party3rd/cdtools
	....
	Scanning ../party3rd/wuftp
	Scanning ../party3rd/cpplib
	Scanning ../party3rd/netscape
	Scanning ../party3rd/netscape/messaging-354
	Scanning ../party3rd/nsr

	If I do a du -k * from the parent, the sizes are as follows (the du
-k is not in this order of course):
	4667 advfs
	477 cdtools
	....
	195 wuftp
	171 cpplib
	251897 netscape
	84454 netscape/messaging-354
	49443 nsr

	What are your thoughts?
