Basically, it's happening because I introduced a bug last week which my tests aren't yet good enough to catch :).

I raised Mantis http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=4770 to track this.  Unfortunately, I might not get a chance to fix it until the back end of this week.

My intention is to maintain backward compatibility for iars and oars.  If there is a problem then that constitutes a reportable bug.
