I think there is a bug in the parsing of the arguments. Not looked at the
sources yet, but it seems that if there is a "-" in an argument, [] is passed
instead :

tsm|~ > ./testing hello world
cmd-line-args ["hello","world"]

tsm|~ > ./testing hello -a   
cmd-line-args ["hello"]

tsm|~ > ./testing -a world  
cmd-line-args []

Still have to find out why...
