[Boost-testing] [run.py] Strange behavior for timeout option

I just switched from regression.py to run.py and I'm a little puzzled by 
it's behavior.

run.py is invoked like this: run.py ... --bjam-options="-l1800"

The command line generated to run the regression tests looks like this:

.../bjam ... -l300 hp_cxx-71_006_tru64 -d2 --dump-tests -l1800 ...

Note the two values for the bjam -l option? Where does it come from? How do 
I get rid of it?

Also it seems that running run.py -h or --help doesn't do what I'd expect 
it to do, namely show the help. Instead it goes ahead and starts 
downloading things. It this how it should work?
