an Emacs bug

The Emacs man page includes the following:

     -b pixels
             Set the Emacs window's border width to the number of
             pixels specified by pixels.

If I do this:
	athena% emacs -b 5&

Then emacs comes up with no border, but with two files:

         MR Buffer         Size  Mode           File
         -- ------         ----  ----           ----
        .   5		   0	 Text		/site/dryfoo/5
            -b		   0	 Text		/site/dryfoo/-b
            *scratch*	   0	 Text		
            *Buffer List*  0	 Buffer Menu	

In other words, it's reading the borderwidth options as file names.
This is probably a wrong thing.
