CVS history -w inconsitency?

Can anybody explain to me what the `-w' option to the `cvs history' command should do? The documentation and the program seem to differ on this point.
The documentation states, "Show only the records for modifications done 
from the same working
directory where `history' is executing.", which makes perfect sense, but 
the implementation, at least, is fishy.  `cvs history -wo' actually 
selects _more_ records than `cvs history -o' here, and it looks like the 
implementation is basing its decision about whether to print a record on 
whether the record's working directory matches the working directory of 
the previous record, not the actual working directory the command was 
run in.
Since I can't think of a good reason to want the current actual 
behavior, I'm guessing the behavior should be changed to match the 
documentation?
