I always seem to expect a subtly different behaviour from what I get.
In this case, I note now that NetBSD behaves exactly the same, but I
only considered trying it out after you've made me read that passage
for the sixteenth time.  I guess I always read in it what I was hoping
to find.

I guess that means I have nothing to fix.  Not only, but any
extensions I was hoping for are shown to be utterly impractical :-(

Let me go back to ELF...
