--- Comment #7 from Harald Schmalzbauer <bugzilla.freebsd at omnilan.de> ---
Thanks a lot Conrad!
I spent an hour on this back than and reached the same point in code (as far as
I remember), but wasn't even close to your solution.  My result was more like
pigs staring at clockworks ... :-(

But I checked different sources and also all linux versions I found had the
same erroneous implementation.
Glad you finally made it POSIX/man page compatible (after 20+ years?!?).

Unfortunately I don't have time to do any tests, but I don't think there's a
need for testing if the example show correct behaviour now.

Have an guadn Rutsch!
