I can confirm this.
While trying to reproduce the bug, I found something rather strange
(affecting Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD): the code wants the user to call it
by the full name of the binary.[1]
# This one doesn’t work
vpcs -H 23456
# This works
$(which vpcs) -H 23456
# or
/usr/bin/vpcs -H 23456
Not sure if this is a bug to report, as I can see upstream is already
working with this in their repository.

No, I’m not an actual user or a porter of kFreeBSD. :)
