You are certainly correct, if we accept Wikipedia's definition of "bug": "A software bug is an error, flaw or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways."

I had been thinking of another definition of "bug", namely, "behavior contrary to the documentation." Back in the PPC days, Bill Wickes made an impassioned argument for defining "bug" that way, and calling any other unfortunate behavior an "anomaly". He just wanted to acknowledge that this distinction is important. Much discussion ensued. When all was said and done, much was said and nothing was done. So I'll agree with you on this one, and I hope that HP fixes this bug.
