Odd param_checkall behavior

[John L. Singleton]

Hello all,

I've been playing around with param_checkall, and I've found something I 
don't quite understand.

According to the docs:

param_checkall with no arguments does this:
   "The system default values are used for all parameters (necessary 
for background processing)."

param_checkall  GENERAL does this:
"Only the parameters from the group General - General Database 
Parameters are requested during the check status request."

param_checkall EXTENDED does this:
"Only the parameters from the groups General Database Parameters and 
Special Database Parameters (Extended) are checked."

Now, why is it, if I do a really bone-head thing like:

param_put _MAXEVENTS -100
param_checkall GENERAL
param_checkall finds an error? _MAXEVENTS is an extended parameter; 
shouldn't it be excluded from the checks? Also, how does supplying the 
argument (none) differ from param_checkall SUPPORT?

Thanks for clearing the air,
JLS
