bug in cpio?

According to the man page, I should be able to extract an absolute pathname from an archive and have the file created relative to the current directory (by removing the leading ‘/’).

 

I’ve tried this on Linux 2.4.4-4GB (Suse Linux) and cpio-2.4.2-344. It will only extract the file if I don’t specify –no-absolute-filenames. I found no references on google that describe this bug.
