Thanks John, I'll have a look at what I can do about the first two items - as an exercise in understanding your code if nothing else.

I'll check this out too. Hmmmm as I said - this was an aside that I noticed while documenting the other problems. As such it didn't have the same level of investigation: It turns out the long option of no-auth-cache actually parses fine, it looks like I was using the short option work around at the time, i.e. "-no-auth-cache" doesn't parse which seems pretty reasonable. Also, I was obviously not concentrating when seeing the parse failure because it does fail fast and the error message I was seeing was in fact part of an IAE stack trace. So after all, nothing a cup of coffee and a pair of glasses wouldn't fix ;-) > > > I'm happy to work on patches to the above problems but wanted to check that I'm >not being daft first - do others agree with my > > percieved bugs or should I be attacking things from another angle?

I was using Basic but on more detailed checks demonstrate that Gnu and Posix behave just the same - perfectly reasonably.
