[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hmmm, well, to me the proposed clarification is not that clear either.  
And the man page is no place for a chatty discussion about what POSIX 
allows of other implementations; the full manual is the place for that 
sort of thing.  So, how about the attached patches instead?  I've pushed 
them.
