Ok, I'll take a peek with the CVS snapshot this afternoon and see if
that corrects it.

I'd like to do a few other cleanups/enhancements to the man pages.  I'll
do that this afternoon if I have some time.

I have two other patches here that I'll be submitting today as well that
make the reporting output a little prettier and also cleans up the
--help option (which was very hard to read).  I'll submit those along
with the manpage updates (I did note a few issues), but I think I'll try
them with the CVS snapshot first before I submit them so you don't have
to monkey with them if changes have already been made.
