  Kurt Kuzba,
  In a message on 15 January, you wrote to me :

  It is unsettling that I don't know whether this behavior is 'guaranteed'
  by the standard or just a result of the particular implementation.  I have
  just spent the day trying to check this, but it all seems to remain cloudy.
  I guess I'll just have to get the standard from the library again, and this
  time use a photocopier to take some notes.
  Cheers,
          DJP
