I screwed that this up. I have patched my version of lockperf to make
all test using the same options names. Though forgot to send those
patches. Will do now.

In this case you can use use '-i' instead of '-l'.

Ah that rings a bell. I tuned the parameters so that I did not run into
this problem. I'll do patch for this one. It's pretty annoying.

I was able to reproduce it again with the same steps.
