While on ypbind/rpcinfo, the latest versions break in our setup.
I've got a testing server running FC7.

"rpcinfo -q" no longer lists ypbind after it is started, breaking the
ypbind startup script.

Interestingly, "rpcinfo -q localhost" and "rpcinfo -q <the-host-name>"
both list ypbind.

Better, the manual entry for rpcinfo lists a promising "-L" option that
I thought I'd try to see if it affected the behaviour. rpcinfo rejects
that option. "rpcinfo -?" gets a usage message, which lists options not
in the manual entry, and better still, options that rpcinfo itself
rejects (like -I).

Where do I file these bugs?
