-a != -dpR

When cp -i -arv /xxxx /yyyy
copy hangs on a FIFO
if I use cp -i -dpRv /xxxx /yyyy 
it works, so in this case -a is not -dpR (as stated in the man page) but -a 
is -dpr.

This only happens when the -v option is also given.

Cheers,
Jeroen.

cp (GNU fileutils) 4.0
linux, kernel 2.2.19, reading from reiserfs, writing to reiserfs, also tested 
with reiserfs-nfs-reiserfs, same thing.
