Good!  I think I'll release a 2.5.50 modules megapatch while I'm
waiting for Linus to merge.

And the compulsory spelling fix (Adam put that in, I'm sure it was to

Thanks, merged for 0.9 with the globals changed to locals and the
"wrong arg" fprintf removed (getopt prints a message) rather than
fixed.

Thanks very much for the testing and the patch!
Rusty.
