Given that Sean is correct (which is plausible), then it is incorrect to
speak of a bug (or even a 'bug'). The algorithm works as specified.
If someone does not like (or understand) the specification you can hardly
(actually, not even remotely) speak of a bug.
Sorry for nitpicking, but this is bothering me.
