No, I don't think so; I'd say it's both wrong - there shouldn't be any 
"resize" in the descriptions above. In any case, if you are doubting 
something that's in the BeBook, writing a test case is a good idea; 
sometimes, the book is wrong, sometimes, the implementation is just 
stupid (and deserves to be fixed).

Adios...
