Thank you Mills, of course I can understand it _now_, after having hit
the problem, but my point is different: the description of a program's
details should be first of all in its main point of reference, its
manual. I'm a bit surprised that while the developers elite perfectly
know the correct details, nobody is going to review a misleading manual
being a reference for the most of us.
