Spoken like a true hacker. :-) This has been a known (albeit poorly understood) problem for a very long time. I understand that you fear this problem becoming a feature through documentation, but the alternative is that the problem continues to bite new-comers in the ass indefinitely. I say the documentation should reflect reality. Perhaps it'll annoy someone like you enough to investigate and fix the problem. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
