Uggh. You've landed in one of the portability traps of getopt().  On
glibc, you can reset option parsing by assigning optind to 1 (but it
also works by assigning it to 0); on BSD, you instead set the variable
'optreset'; on Solaris, there is no way to reset option parsing (but
then again, Solaris doesn't maintain any invisible state like glibc or
BSD where you need to go out of your way to do a full reset).

But regardless of how you look at it, the patch has now been committed
to master without your suggested fix, so you'll have to propose a formal
followup patch as a new thread.
