You did inform me about this Linux "self non-compliance" and you are the only person who did claim that there is a problem. I spend a lot of time in trying to find a work around for this problem and I am in hope that I did find a working solution. Please stop claiming things I did never write! I did never mention that this was a POSIX non-compliance, this is entirely from your imagination. I rather mentioned that this is a problem caused by the fact that Linux changed it's behavior in a way that breaks existing applications. For this reason it is apropriate to call the code that deals with the problem "a workaround".
