I'm not sure why this is a bug, as you have not given any indication of buggy behavoir. The man page discourages the use of -f and -m together because they CAN abort with a cryptic error message if -m undoes something -f required. They will work together in a limited number of cases. Perhaps the man page should have a less stronger warning. Jason
