No. The "s:" in optstring and 1 as a second value in {"start",1,0,'s'} always makes next token a parameter.
Try to compile and run following example: #include <stdio.h> #include <getopt.h> struct option opt[] = { {"letter-a",1,0,'a'}, {"letter-b",1,0,'b'}, {0,0,0,0} }; int main(int argc,char **argv) { int idx,c; while((c=getopt_long(argc,argv,"a:b:",opt,&idx))!=EOF) printf("option: %c, optarg: %s\n",c,optarg); }; It gives: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/g$ ./gol --letter-a -2d option: a, optarg: -2d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/g$ ./gol -a -2d option: a, optarg: -2d > Anyway, I don't see where any of the other packages you've mentioned are > providing a broken implementation of getopt_long.

That's why it is so mysterious to me and I am asking for help at wider auditorium. Because only apache/php4(module) is a problematic combination I suspect an apache. If it is sufficient for you I have no objections against reassigning this bug to apache package.
