Seems this man page is getting old. It still has options that aren't
even there anymore.
Hmmm. That just blew away everything. Now I don't have a test case
until I can download the 450 MB again over a 28.8k. I'll see if I can
set up another test case between some other servers. Don't worry,
that data was not important ... I just left it lying around to test
with.
