If I interpret the attached failure notice in various ways, I get the impression that <bugnumber> needs to be followed by a hyphen and then a keyword like "quiet" or "maintonly." Haven't had the opportunity to experiment, but a bugnumber by its lonesome does not appear to be good form. Be good, be well Garry R.
