bonnie++-1.03c -p option problem & ?

	Hello All ,  I know this isn't the proper place to pop this question .
	But it is one place where quite a few have practical experience with bonnie++ .
	When I add the -p option to my bonnie command line all it does is print the uid&gid I am using & dies .  So I think I am doing something wrong somewhere .
	If anyone has ides('s) on the matter to share please pipe up offlies if you desire (I'll compile the result & post) or on list everyone could interested I guess ;-) .
		Tia ,  JimL
