The first change is correct, normal string comparison is needed after
the transformation.  But the results should still be the same.  If you
see a different sign on the return value it could mean that instead

  i1 = str2.compare(str1)

must be used (or that .compare is returning the wrong sign which I
doubt).  I've not enough time to look into this myself.
