I noticed, but I expected it, so had no reason to comment. The 
Linux man pages are the only specification of send that I've 
seen that don't make a big deal out it. And clearly I'm not the 
only one, otherwise there would never have been a bug report 
(he didn't experience it, he just noticed sends without checks).
