I touch D-Spam very infrequently so from that perspective I frequently 
am coming at it with no memory of specifics.  I'm used to tools where 
all options get specified in the same manner and it's very easy to miss 
one single character difference in a sea of options.  Since this was a 
working setup that needed very little tweaking I didn't read much of the 
docs and skimmed what little I looked at.

Is anything particularly bad about it?  No, not really.  Perhaps just 
upgrading the usage message on failure to dump which segment didn't 
parse properly or was deemed 'missing' would be adequate to catch these 
things.


Thanks,
Leeman
