Class-Changed-When: Mon Sep 27 11:04:22 GMT 2004
Class-Changed-Why: 
This is a request for a change of semantics.


Responsible-Changed-From-To: gnats-admin->freebsd-bugs
Responsible-Changed-By: ceri
Responsible-Changed-When: Mon Sep 27 11:04:22 GMT 2004
Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Reassign misfiled PR.

For what it's worth, I believe that the current behaviour is correct.
Perhaps rm -Pf should do what the submitter is asking for.
