Neither -d value is default (for the program - yours may be the debian installed default). I suspect I lengthened mine because of the b44 issues. I'd be willing to bet that -q option would eliminate the hang I get sometimes on shutdown. I'm sure though that I didn't add the -w - that looks like a recipe for problems. I think I'm going to purge and reinstall it, to find the real default settings, then play with the different options (starting with yours) until I make it work.
