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.

Thanks. And here you have remaining doc-related changes included in Debian.

Cheers,

Thanks. I installed the attached patch, which should fix the problems noted 
(though with different wording), and am marking this bug as done.
