Comment:

 What is happening is that it is enabling debug output because there is a
 "-h" in the arguments.

 The reason that this happens is that it is necessary to set up the debug
 output before we fully parse the debug output to know if a "-h" or a "--
 help" argument has been specified.

 I suppose the code that decides whether or not to set up the debug output
 could potentially be made a little smarter, but I'm tempted to file this
 in the "unfortunate" category and say avoid using "-h" in your path.

 Thoughts?
