I think its a 'lack of a specification' bug.  I would find it
surprising if I hadn't seen the code and just read the man
page.  If I can't figure out a reasonable way to explain it
in the man page, I'll change the code.

Hello,

Is the following is a specification or bug?

#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
void main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char *args[2];
	char *line;
	line = "##alice###bob###";
	getfields(line, args, 2, 1, "#");
	print("%s,%s\n", args[0], args[1]);
}

The output is:
alice,bob###
