> getopt_long() parses command-line arguments. One of its arguments
> 'longopts' is a pointer to the first element of an array of struct
> option.  The last element of the array has to be filled with zeros
> to mark the end of options. For example:
> 
> struct option longopts[] = {
> { "help",  0, 0, ARG_HELP},
> ....
> /* End of options */
> { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
> };
> 
> This commit adds the last element. Prior to this commit getopt_long()
> continued parsing beyond the longopts[] array which occasionally caused
> segmentation faults.
