Sorry, thread got long and twisty. Ok, test case:

Ok, added a test case, and fixed a second issue the test case showed (-v output
going to stderr instead of stdout when there's a -f).

I fixed it a slightly different way to avoid adding a second goto label. Does
this fix your use case?

Thanks,

Rob
