Builds fail on some machines with 0.5.1

[talex5]

With 0.5.1, my project sometimes fails to compile. It seems to depend on the order of directory entries returned by readdir.

bisecting, it appears this was fixed in d1d90dda649f412ae6af3d0e2dae040cafae065b - would be nice to have a new release.

My test-case is:

docker run --rm -it ocaml/opam:debian-stable_ocaml-4.03.0
git clone https://github.com/talex5/test-namespaces
opam install -y ocamlfind namespaces
cd test-namespaces 
make

This fails on some machines and works on others, even with the exact same Docker image (just a different Linux kernel).

The output on failure is:

opam@59d85fb885a7:~/test-namespaces$ make

However, even with the dev version it still seems to fail on more complex examples.

I'm also getting a build fail.

Thanks for the report. I will likely rewrite Namespaces soon due to other issues; the rewrite should take care of this problem as well.
