Well, but -b is working as documented. Sadly, the -s parameter is = deprecated - so, that really shouldn't be used either. Therefore, since = -b simply grabs the -n that would contain the suffix specified (doesn't = do an exact suffix match and fail if not found as you wanted, Quanah) = and -s is deprecated - how is one to accomplish this in the future?
