-r is an option that makes the input constant frame rate 
while -framerate changes its speed.
One could argue that this isn't really the thieves' fault 
(I consider the "new" meaning of "-r" a hack but it is 
sometimes useful), but given that it has fooled everybody 
in this mailing list thread, it is at least not completely 
expected.

Fortunately it looks very different here;-)

An unrelated comment:
Please remember that gcc binaries with a "0" or "1" in 
their version numbers should never be used and that 
gcc 4.9.0 is particularly buggy.
