Hi, On Marcelo's request I have taken a closer look at this. It seems that Alexander Pytlev's original (simple) patch was correct.
Without it the logic looks a bit like this. while (...) { if iocharset ... else if map ... if session ... if sbsector ... else if check ... ... else return 1; } Now, if iocharset, map or session are matched, then none of the if or else if clauses under sbsector will match (that is none of these clauses match iocharset, map or session), and thus the else clause will be hit, and the function will return 1 without parsing any furhter options. With Alexander's fix, the if session and if sbsector clauses become else if, and its easy to see that the return 1 won't be premeturely called. I have tested that this patch works using the testcase options iocharset=koi8-r,gid=100, and checking that gid is set correctly with the patch, and incorrectly without. Here is the patch and signoff again, just for the record. I will send a second patch to clean up the *value = 0 code that Marcelo cast concerns over - its bogus but harmless.
