strange generate-new-buffer-name behaviour

[Alin Soare]

I discovered an error while reading the info page for generating a name for an unexisting buffer :

In 27.3 Buffer Names I see written so:

          (generate-new-buffer-name "foo")
               => "foo<5>"
          (generate-new-buffer-name "foo" "foo<3>")
               => "foo<3>"
          (generate-new-buffer-name "foo" "foo<6>")
               => "foo<5>"

However, for me all these forms evaluate to "foo"

Did I miss something, or is this an error concerning the second parameter?
