Thanks much for the clarification.  Is this one of those examples
of what I get for trusting the text of the ANSI standard in
Schildt's book?

	[No.  This bug existed in the ISO standard when Schildt got
	 a copy.  Note: ISO, not ANSI.  ISO's fault. -mod]

(Or do I lose my c.l.c.moderated posting privileges for even
admitting that I own (and use (the left-hand pages of))
a copy?)

	 it's like reading those "best of student bloopers" things. -mod]
