Probably restoring connections between Yoshimi JACK MIDI ports and ports 
created by a2jmidid:

-u     forces a2jmidid to generate non-unique port names (see NOTES)

NOTES
        ALSA  does not guarantee client names to by unique. I.e. it is 
possible to have two apps that create two clients with same  ALSA 
client  name. JACK  however  requires port names to be unique. To ensure 
this unique‐ness, a2jmidid will add the unique numeric ALSA client ID to 
  the  JACK port  name.   However  this  behaviour  is known to be 
problematic when restoring connections  using  simplistic  tools  like 
aj-snapshot  and jack_connect.   In  order to make them work, the -u 
option can be used. This option will cause a2jmidid to omit the numeric 
ALSA Client ID from JACK  port  names.   In  this mode, ALSA client name 
uniqueness must be guartanteed externally

(from the a2jmidid man page, git checkout as of 2011-08-03)
