State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: schweikh
State-Changed-When: Mon Feb 16 10:01:23 PST 2004
State-Changed-Why: 
This is intentional. The -number behavior is deprecated and kept
for compatibility reasons. POSIX requires -n number. To quote from
SUSv3: "The obsolescent -number form is withdrawn."
