htpasswd overwrites same password file without -c option

           Summary: htpasswd overwrites same password file without -c option
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.39
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: support
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: admin@ihpindustrial.com

The support program htpasswd, creates a new file even if the file already exists. I started out with the -c option to create a new file to add users to. Example:
/usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd -bc /usr/local/apache/auth/htpasswds user1 pass1
OK, it created the file like it is suposed to. Results: user1:<encrpted_pass1>

Then I used:
/usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd -b /usr/local/apache/auth/htpasswds user2 pass2

The results were a new file 'htpasswds' with the contents: user2:<encrypted_pass2>

It's acting like it doesn't see the already created file.

(Please bear with me, this is my first bug report.)
