It makes sense to me to document this in the manual, and not in a README file that no-one reads, so ok from me, but please wait for jmc@'s input. Note that this bug used to be documented in the manual, but it was first commented out by jmc in -r1.91 (2005) and then deleted by you in -r1.167 this year.
