-         * reset the libc getopt() function, which keeps internal state.

-         * BSD-derived getopt() functions require that optind be set to 1 in

-         * way of resetting getopt().  However, glibc's getopt()
-         * has additional getopt() state beyond optind, and requires that
-         * optind be set to zero to reset its state.  So the unfortunate state of
-         * affairs is that BSD-derived versions of getopt() misbehave if
-         * optind is set to 0 in order to reset getopt(), and glibc's getopt()
-         * will core dump if optind is set 1 in order to reset getopt().
-         *
-         * More modern versions of BSD require that optreset be set to 1 in
-         * order to reset getopt().   Sigh.  Standards, anyone?
