Thanks for this report. This piece of text in the man page is ancient (from man-pages-1.20, circa 1998), and odd in the sense that it describes a bug in POSIX that was (long ago) subsequently fixed. As the standards committee noted, POSIX here seemed to deviate from existing practice. The simplest fix here I think is to just remove that BUGS section, which is what I have done. |
