thanks

Hi Santiago,

the actual errors are:
# -      \\field{sortinithash}{0aa614ace9f3a40ef5a67e7f7a184048}
# +      \\field{sortinithash}{8343b463aacf48517c044b4d2c9c45ed}

all of them.

That means that some perl update broke biber building as it
did built when I uploaded it.

I have contacted upstream concerning this change, and include
the perl group in case they have an idea.

What happens is that first a "sortinitcollator" is computed by:
	Unicode::Collate::Locale->new(locale => $sortlist->get_sortscheme->{locale}, level => 1)
and then the sortkey is collated and hashed
	md5_hex($self->{sortinitcollator}->viewSortKey($sinit));

It seems something in the locale handline has changed.

Anyway, I hope to get an answer from upstream or perl group soon.

Thanks

Norbert
