What really happens is more complex thing. POSIX tries to follow C standard as close as possible. If POSIX makes an addition not mentioned in the relatively minimalistic C or SUS standards (because such case even was not considered there but vital enough to system level), this addition not contradicts with C standard _directly_ i.e. not opposite it, but from now two example cases handled equaly by minimalistic standards handled now differently by POSIX due to additional (non-described previously) treatement. -- http://ache.pp.ru/
