Suggesting this is a bug is really quite silly. You've used "-0" 'dash 
zero' as a command line argument. Genbox has complained specifically 
about it, and presented the acceptable command line flags, which include 
'dash lowercase-o'. Computers are literal, and to use them successfully 
you must think in an orderly fashion and be attentive to detail. :-)
