Having to press return twice is about the worst idea suggested here. How 
do you press return twice from inside a script? At least using an 
option, or even a funny character, instead of the mapfile is scriptable.

think it is the best decision overall.

I have just added the text also to the Chapter "Invoking ddrescue". I'll 
try to add the warning (probably at verbosity levels 1 and above) to the 
next version.
