Hi Tito and others,
Paul Eggert agreed with me and changed the GNU version.
Here is my proposion:

And here is his reply:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-09/msg00086.html
Unfortunately, reading his patch I noticed that the solution doesn't
correspond exactly to what I was proposing -- and in fact I am still
thinking about this "issue" and about the cases that it should return
success and the cases it should not; XCU doesn't specify a thing about
these things (don't know why). I'll probably extend this discussion
with Eggert, which certainly is an authoritative person to make some
decisions about the issue, so I will suggest some more things...
