Besides I have found this bug both Debian GNU/Linux Etch as Lenny and Ubuntu Hardy, which would not be very rare if the package that maintains is based on the one of Debian, I have observed this problem also in OpenBSD 4.3. will we be in the presence of a generalized bug in the definition of the zone? Are used common definitions in all these operating systems?
