That's a syntax change introduced I believe when you added dwarf 
support. Every now and then I slip up and type -ga -- something that 
worked up until the callchain arg was expanded -- and now it fails as -g 
wants to look at 'a' as an argument to it.

It would be nice to fix the callchain arg handler to not attempt to 
process the next argument if it is not fp or dwarf.
