Summary: repozo.py may include dat file in recovering ZODB file

Initial Comment:
I have an identical repository on two different machines.  On one 
repozo.py -R works fine; on the other it includes a .dat file and 
produces a corrupt ZODB file:

[THIS IS CORRECT]
[zope@www2 zope]$ repozo.py -v -r backup -Ro recovered.fs
looking for files b/w last full backup and 2004-05-13-17-20-50...
files needed to recover state as of 2004-05-13-17-20-50:
        backup/2004-05-13-15-03-23.fs
        backup/2004-05-13-15-07-48.deltafs
        backup/2004-05-13-15-44-06.deltafs
        backup/2004-05-13-15-48-10.deltafs

It turns out that the find_files() function can return different lists on 
different machine.  This is because os.listdir() lists file in arbitrary 
order (as per the documentation) and then the relative order of the .fs 
file and its .dat file (which share the same basename) is preserved by 
the Python sort.  The workings of find_files() are illustrated 
interactively below:

I attach a patch to fix this.
