This WAS a bug in an earlier release.  I do not know if it was generic
SysV or if it was our port.  None the less, it has been repaired.

I would like to say that asking the world about alleged bugs in a
specific implementation is not the best way to get a resolution (nor is
it a nice thing to do).  In general, the world does not have the answer 
to that type of question.  It is better to ask the manufacturer directly 
over the provided support phone line (free to licensed users in U.S.).
I realize that you are in Australia.  You can email directly to me
if you choose not to call, (hours being different here and all).

Cheers,
