Hello Mathieu

Thanks for looking into it.  And yes, that was exactly what happened.
Plus i was tricked by my own setup (for once showing the LBA label and
another time not).  Oh well (:

I've attached a possible patch for the documentation.

Thanks again for the review and the clarification of the issue.

Best regards
