mkisofs.
Stying with the old version means staying with old bugs.

There was a period of less than 6 months starting from August 2006
where I replaced the buggy GNU getopt_long() with my mature getargs()
that resulted in replacing 3000 old lines by 1000 new lines and introduced
a few temporary incompatibilities.

I don't understand - sorry.
2.01 is dead since more than 5 years, I don't recommend to use it anymore since
more than 2 years.
