Hi Jari,

your problem is caused by a bug in the option parser (GNU getopt_long).

The mkisofs version you are using is very old (> 1.5 years). Three months
ago, mkisofs has been converted to use the more mature and older (starting 1982)
getargs(). This change fixed your problem and many other conceptional bugs
from GNU getopt_long. GNU getopt_long is e.g. unable to correctly deal with 
miss-spelled long options in case that the miss-spelling occurs after the 
shortest common part of the option name.
