Major All of a sudden, some builds start failing. Closer inspection showed, that the perforce plugin stopped providing the "-P" option to p4.exe. I can't explain why. Going back to 1.3.24 didn't help (but i'm unsure if the roll-back performed correctly). Updating Jenkins to 1.546 didn't help either.
The log of a successful (old) build shows:
