Hmm, since this issue is raised quite often how about handle this more clearly? If -D is only appropriate for simple bind the command-line tools could check whether -D is used and then give a hint that -x is to be used. Or simply imply simple bind automagically. Same for -U. etc. Maybe I'm missing something. Ciao, Michael.
