Double buffering (-D) is a "unix only" feature at the moment, since it
depends upon unix shared memory, fork, and exec.  It should however, simply
be a nop on nonunix machines, and will inform you of that fact if you run
with maximum verbosity (-vvvv).  There does appear to be a problem though,
because I was able to reproduce it here with the same command.
