The most sensitive change in this check-in was:

+int fossil_strcmp(const char *zA, const char *zB){
+  if( zA==0 ){
+    if( zB==0 ) return 0;
+    return -1;
+  }else if( zB==0 ){
+    return +1;
+  }else{
+    int a, b;
+    do{
+      a = *zA++;
+      b = *zB++;
+    }while( a==b && a!=0 );
+    return a - b;
   }
 }

Author said that this function can compare strings without considering locale. Maybe problem is here.
