Please have a look at the help text: It tells you that the meaning
of "-l" was changed (not a good idea in my opinion):

Flags:
  -o   Allow overwrite of existing vector map with the same name
  -l   Force writing  polygon coverage as a line coverage
[...]

Note that the former '-l' functionality is back, but now with
'-d' flag:
  -d   List fields of DBF file                            

This is present in CVS and will appear in the next version.
