Two things:
1) I'd obviously expect this if I'd used "debug on" in the PRC rather than
the command line flag. In fact, when I tried -db and it didn't work, I was
nonplussed. When I put it in the table itself, a bell started ringing in
my head.
2) I had "just run it successfully" on a dry run not 5 minutes earlier.
Unfortunately, I confused _page and _table as name suffixes between the
two. fP didn't bother catching it for me, and I was left thinking I'd
entered exactly the same command. Once I started looking at my command
history, I finally nailed it.
I still say it should complain. It'll complain if you use -f and no output
format exists for the specified processing. Not seeing a semantic
difference, here.
