Depends how you are planning to use the superfile. If it's reassembling a large file that you dismembered elsewhere you might expect the latter behaviour.

We have a few similar inconsistencies relating to superfiles (what do file positions mean, what does SORTED mean) which is why Roxie refuses to deal with them if they have more than one subfile...
