While I recently touched the options.cxx code, I would be 'surprised' if that's 
broken the options above, given that other single-value options work. (It's 
just passing a string through, and the functions that process the args are 
unchanged) What's more likely, is that some of my refactorings in the 
TimeManager code would have upset it, *except* that I made all those changes 
pre 2.4, as far as I can recall - and certainly more than three months ago.

Durk, it sounds like the window of this occurring is quite 'tight' - less than 
seven days - so I'm really unsure what it might be.
