  I noticed that bug some time ago, and listed it here:  
http://ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Zolee#Known_bugs_.28known_by_me_at_least.29

  The result is not unpredictable: the first wire of the bus is connected  
and all the others are floating.

  We should centralize all the known bugs in the bugtracker...
