Summary: "pickref -r" causes premature end of transmission

Initial Comment:
When sending "pickref -r -l listname" to the server, the server ends the communication immediately after the transmission of the IDs.

Despite that, the item is removed from the list.  You can see this problem even in refdbc:

refdbc: dumpref -d biblio -b wichtig 1
error

Message:
Yes, sorry, I used -b instead of -l.  I run

refdbc 0.9.9-1 built from svn revision 531
refdbd 0.9.9-1 built from svn revision 531

I have not the time to investigate this further at the moment.  Maybe in a
couple of weeks.  A quick look at the diffs revealed nothing spectacular. 
However, I don't speak C very well.

Message:
I cannot reproduce this problem here using refdbc. If you run into this
problem consistently, it may have been fixed unintentionally as there are
no hints to such a problem in the cvs logs of refdbdref.c. Which version of
RefDB are you using?

Sending "pickref -r -l listname" to the server is likely to cause problems
because "-l" is not a valid option. Use "-b" instead to pass the list name.
If you found "-l" somewhere in the docs, it's a bug and I'd like to fix it.
