CAMB: remove neutrino

Hi.
I'm a little confused about massless neutrino.
I set the neutrino parameter like this:

omnuh2 = 0.000
massless_neutrinos = 0.0
nu_mass_eigenstates = 0
massive_neutrinos = 0.
share_delta_neff = F
nu_mass_fractions = 0.
nu_mass_degeneracies = 0.

because I want to remove massless and massive neutrinos.
and I checked that massive neutrino's value is zero.
But massless is not.
Although I check that 'CP%Num_Nu_massless' is zero, but for density perturbation and Delta_r/k^2 in transfer.dat output file, massless neutrino has non-zero value.
How can I remove all neutrinos?
Or are massless neutrinos always calculated?

Any help would be appreciated.

The neutrino transfer function may still be calculated even if the actual energy density in neutrinos is zero.

Thank you for your replying.

I understood that massless neutrino is calculated even if 'massless_neutrinos' parameter is zero.
Then, is my parameter setting right for removing all neutrinos?
Sorry for my trivial questions.

It looks right, but I haven't tested it.
