I haven't analyzed this situation in detail, but I suspect it is
caused by the use of getopt() to parse the command. Looks like getopt
attempts to interpret the characters of the query string preceded by a
dash as option characters unless they are enclosed in quotes. Let me
know if this does not explain your experiences in full, I'd then have
to have a second look.

Markus
