By reading the man page, noticing there was no mention of "--" and then
trying `choom -n +5 sleep 5` and found that worked.  When you sent this
message I checked and GNU `sleep` does have "--version", thus I tried
`choom -n +5 sleep 5 --version` and found *that* failed.

A "--" seemed natural, but documentation omitting crucial details is a
problem.  Never mind.

Nice find, I did at one point have the oom-killer get the wrong process
and saw *problems*.
