The good news is that my initial PR was correct... the bad news is that I

was apparently smoking something when I committed the last fix, because as
ume was kindly enough to set me straight on, amd *will* start with no
arguments at all, as long as there is an /etc/amd.conf file for it to
read. What it won't do is start with *just* -p.

In any case, now it's fixed.
