Bluetooth name caching problem

hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:0B:6B:59:3B:F4 BlueZ linux (0) g228:~ # hcitool name 00:0B:6B:59:3B:F4 Acer BlueZ g251 (0) the first scan shows the 'old', unchanged name. The name is different. It's not a problem on the receiving (asking) side, since my cell phone reports the wrong name, too.
The is a typical problem with a name cache. In Bluetooth there exists no notification that a name has changed and until you use "hcitool name" the cache will not be updated and thus the old name will be displayed.
This is not a bug.
