-W not working anymore



I haven't touched my ldap project for a while but finally got back to it today.
In the past I used -W to be prompted for a password but it's not working
anymore. Am I crazy or am I just doing something wrong. I was using 1.2.3 but
upgraded to 1.2.6 to make sure that wasn't the problem. The man page says -W
prompts for the password.

bash-2.01$ ldapsearch -W -D 'cn=root, o=Tivoli Systems' 'cn=Jason Bodnar'
ldapsearch: illegal option -- W
usage: ldapsearch [options] filter [attributes...]
where:
    filter      RFC-1558 compliant LDAP search filter
    attributes  whitespace-separated list of attributes to retrieve
                (if no attribute list is given, all are retrieved)
options:
    -n          show what would be done but don't actually search
    -v          run in verbose mode (diagnostics to standard output)

    -d level    set LDAP debugging level to `level'
    -F sep      print `sep' instead of `=' between attribute names and values
    -S attr     sort the results by attribute `attr'
