"srec_cat -?" gives a short description (should work on your system). 
"srec_cat -help" calls "man" to display the manpage (at least under 
Linux). So your problem seems to be outside "srec_cat".

No idea, how to fix it. However, I believe I have a workaround

There is a pdf manual at
http://srecord.sf.net
so there is no need for "-help" ;-)

Now a quick start for inserting CRC...

Inserting a CRC over the whole memory into an Intel-Hex-File can be 
done with

srec_cat input.hex -intel -fill 0xff 0x0000 0x1ffe -Big_Endian_CRC16 
0x1ffe -o output.hex -intel

After that the CRC_CCITT over the whole memory is zero.
If your hexfile already contains some values for 0x1ffe or 0x1fff you 
need to remove them first (-crop 0x0000 0x1ffe).
If you want, you can remove the inserted 0xff after calculating the 
checksum. Then your command line looks like this:

srec_cat input.hex -intel -crop 0x0000 0x1ffe -fill 0xff 0x0000 0x1ffe 
-Big_Endian_CRC16 0x1ffe -unfill 0xff 8 -o output.hex -intel
