I agree totally although i wonder why they purged the sentence in
question which was present in the old manual pages.  The problem is,
that some implementors will read the specs and implement what is
written there.  You as a software developer will have a hard time
argueing ``well, but look, your implementation doesnt make sense'' when
your program dumps core and the words are against you :-(

You should send a gripe to at&t :-)
I dont have my XPG3 at hand, but i bet its the same wording there!
