Hello,

	Perhaps it is out-of-date, because I use FreeBSD-2.0.5,
but if it is not it should be fixed. I don't send the patch, it
is obvious. The idea is in the subject. I see that it may be
intended for faster operations, but such a check would help
portability. Even if not we should point out the fact in the
manual page.
