I'm getting a failure:

njh@compaq:~$ youtube-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM_pAp0dRz4"
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] IM_pAp0dRz4: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] IM_pAp0dRz4: Extracting video information
ERROR: format not available for video

This is with version 2010.01.19. Will a newer version fix this?

Yes, this works with the current version 2012.01.08b. You can run

youtube-dl --update

to update to the newest version. Depending on your configuration, you may need root privileges for that.

You can't close it because it is already closed ;)
