Hi,

I have noticed one thing which I am not sure if it is a bug or a feature.

This is a small reproducible example:

        \documentclass[12pt]{book}
        \title{Title}
        \author{Author}

        \begin{document}

        \tableofcontents

        \chapter*{Preface}

        \dots

        \newpage

        \dots

        \end{document}

When I typeset this document, the heading of the last page (belonging to
the `Preface' chapter* is set to "CONTENTS". As if chapter* did not
reset the headers/footers properly in the same way as ordinary chapter
command does.

I am curious; is this the desired behavior?

Thanks in advance for any help.
