I guess we are just talking semantics on the word feature here. By feature, I
mean an intended feature, something that was designed in for a reason. I do not
mean implementation or unintended behaviors which of course could be just about
anything. I doubt this is an intended feature. It could quite possible be an
uncorrected bug or an unintended (and even acceptable due to infrequency)
behavior.
