That's got it - I don't know what a 'good' -k argument looks like, 
'path' is 'meaningless' if you don't deal with kernels regularly. e.g. 
Appending 'e.g. /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-70-generic' would do it.

Right, but given the thread, we / I figure this is the regex bug already 
fixed that will come with next release. If it doesn't I expect to 
provide such then.

Nah, 'path' is too nebulous for those like myself who although mostly 
Linux comfortable, don't have to delve into kernel enunciation very 
often. Mostly, I suspect, because it all 'just works' most of the time.
