That's true, and it would solve the problem, which may be why it hasn't 
been a high enough priority to fix.  I won't fix it:  check is written 
in Perl, and I don't know Perl well enough to want to mess with it.  But 
maybe a second complaint about it will motivate someone who does know 
Perl to put together a fix.
