Wasn't needed after all... it turned out that our quicksort was always
using base_ptr[mid] as the pivot and did not take into account that
the "collaps the walls" loop might overwrite that location, thus
incorrectly changing the pivot during collapsing.  I have fixed this
by copying out the pivot into a local variable.  'sort' and 'sort!'
should now work reasonably also for large vectors.
