This is definitely an error, and now produces a message. The old code actually gave back a NULL optarg. Getopt(1) has been compiled to pick up the fix. This probably isn't a sufficiently serious problem to warrant global recompilations. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
