After your explanations and a few suggested experiments this strange fenomena
become to me clear, but  believe, you will agree, that from the user's  point of
view the behaviour of this function is unexpected and leads to some confusion.
I do not mean, that implementation is poor, but only that result are
non-intuitive.

Thanks a lot for consultation, at least now I know how to avoid these pitfalls.
