In fact the real problem lies in cvs itself. It sets optind=0 before it calls getopt. A POSIX conformant getopt exits immediately and returns -1 in this case, while GNU getopt is a little bit more "tolerant" (aka non-standard). There was a thread in bug-gnulib http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cvs/2005-05/threads.html#00020 I did not insist on changing cvs itself, because i was afraid that this could cause problems on platforms, where cvs always worked. In fact a problem like the one that just happened ;) (mk) -- Matthias Kurz; Fuldastr. 3; D-28199 Bremen; VOICE +49 421 53 600 47 >> Im prämotorischen Cortex kann jeder ein Held sein.
