Trouble with getpos()/setpos().

Hello all,

I've encountered a behavior which really smells like a bug, but I'd
like to check here beforehand to be sure:

Go into linewise visual mode and leave it. Show the position of the '> mark with:

echo getpos("'>")

It returns something like (if you were on line 23):

[0, 23, 2147483647, 0]

where the very big value for the column means you were in linewise
visual mode. Now try to set the '> mark with e.g.:

echo setpos("'>", [0, 25, 12, 0])

"0" is echoed, meaning nothing went wrong. Use "getpos("'>")" again to see
the position of the mark, this time you'll see:

[0, 25, 2147483647, 0]

The line was changed, but not the column. And it seems to happen
whenever the column number has that big value, i.e. whenever you went
into linewise visual mode.

Am I missing something?

Best,
Paul
