This was indeed broken. I have checked in a fix in the "experimental"
branch - `-accumulate-profile' now requires that `-profile-name' is
used. This name given will be used as the target for the profile
data (without appending the PID, the name is used unchanged).

Thanks for reporting this problem.


cheers,
