- This article was posted to comp.bugs.4bsd many moons ago,
- but is still relevant. The bug is in the 386bsd make, might
- be applicable to BSDI's system also.

- There is a bug in the new make from 4.3Reno and also present in the Net2
- release (as found on uunet). A command line argument consisting of a lone
- dash (-) causes an infinite loop ("make - make" was an excellent test case).
-
- I believe the following patch fixes the bug; it still represents what I
- would call unwarranted chumminess with the library. The fix is to keep
- getopt() from being asked to re-examine the - argument, which it will
- again call an error and not advance optind past...
