Your third idea is promising, but I don't like the "crash" part. What specifically crashes? If you haven't reported this to IBM, then you should, so we can diagnose and fix. At the same time, is it really coded as you wrote? In which case, you have "-c" instead of "-c:". Perhaps that will get past the crash?

The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
