That's what I think is the case.  I cannot remember though, I think
this is not written down anywhere in an official Atmel document but
I've been explained that upon a request to Atmel many years ago.
That's why I implemented it the way it is now.

That's bad.  I thought I've been fixing all those pointer confusions.
Please file a bug report for it (of course, if you've got a fix, I'd
be even more thankful as I cannot spend too much time into AVRDUDE
right now due to personal shortage of sparetime).
