Type and version: UltraAX-i2 9.1.16 (with mkserv)
Display type: unknown

Window manager: unknown
What were you trying to do?
Experiment with lists whose names begin with "-"
What's wrong:
Creation works fine, but everything after that fails:
% blanche jmorzins-spare-2 -R -deploy
% blanche -deploy -R jmorzins-spare-2
Usage: /usr/athena/bin/blanche listname [options]
What should have happened:
It would be nice if blanche had an explicit flag for
saying "the list I'm operating on is ______", rather than
guessing based on the presence/absence of a leading dash.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
On the other hand, moira works fine, and this situation
surely won't be a common one.
