I would appreciate any reference to a POSIX, ANSI, or other standards document that says it should NOT work that way. If they exist, I'll see that UTS conforms (or at least can be made to conform with a POSIX flag set or some such -- we don't want to break our customer's applications if they've been compensating for it.
