                                      I thought some daft script on my
                                      computer was inserting this bit;
                                      but then another poster mentioned
                                      it. It _definitely_ does not
                                      belong there.

-I or -A should work fine: -I just puts them at the beginning of the
list and -A at the end.  I'd hazard that you changed something else to
get it working, too :)
