Ahh. Yes, it's stupid. That sadly does _not_ mean that it's necessarily a 
typo, though. It might easily be intentional, due to some random original 
Unix implementation detail.

But yeah, that commit message is wonderful, but a single-line comment 
about crazy POSIX rules in the actual code itself would probably have been 
a good idea too.
