  Actually, this is one of the N mystical now-you-see-it-now-you-don'ts of
VMS. It depends on what VMS release you were at - it alternately worked/
didn't throughout most of the V4 releases. Some of the other mystical items
are:

  o Building standalone BACKUP on "small" media
  o Power failure recovery on the second UBA on a 78x

  and so on. If you read the sources, there are a bunch of incriminating
comments in the sources about the "GIGI problem".
