Yes, its true that it does not alter the existing behaviour. But neither
does the patch change anything.

-s is never used to say how many times it should run or not. It´s use
is:
-s PATTERN      Only run test cases which match PATTERN.

So, when you say:

-s access01,

it will try to search for any/all test case(s) name under runtest/*
files matching partial/full word.
