Hi Mehul, hi others,

I think it is great to have this fixed, I directly assigned it to the
upcoming bell release.

The main "problem" is, that most of us are working on linux and we don't
have much experience with compatibility issues. Anyhow, I'd suggest to
fix the problems when they occur for the platforms that are really used
without much formalism.

The patch was not applied so far, because I somehow would like to keep
at least the "-p" option. So what do you think for the other platforms?
Whould "-dpR" instead of "-a" work?

So yes, please check what happens on your platform and how we can fix it
and we will include it!

Regards and thanks in advance,
Rapha
