[Help-autogen] save-opts crashes

[uaca]

Hello

I'm using the following global .def file (full version at the end)

        
AutoGen Definitions options;
prog-name     = trafgen;
prog-title    = "Traffic generator. Generates traffic sent with the ever_dag 
API.";
long-opts;
homerc         =  $HOME, ".";
environrc;
/* rcfile        = "trafgenrc"; */
/* test_main; */

config-header = trafgen_extra_headers.h;
        

copyright = {
    date  = "2004";
    owner = "Ulises Alonso";
    eaddr = 'address@hidden';
    type  = GPL;
};

detail;

[...]

And when I launch the program with --save-opts some pointer gets crazy:

address@hidden:~/trafgen$ ./trafgen --save-opts
trafgen WARNING:  cannot save options - error 2 (No such file or directory) 
creating address@hidden@/.

A trace shows what is trying to do:

stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("./.trafgenrc", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/home/ulisses", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("/home/ulisses/.trafgenrc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
stat64("/home/ulisses", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("/home/ulisses/.trafgenrc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("./.trafgenrc", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
stat64("address@hidden@/.", 0xbffff8ac)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
unlink("address@hidden@/.")                   = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("address@hidden@/.", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such 
file or directory)

Why this can happen if my program only executes the following sentences?

  int optct = optionProcess( &trafgenOptions, argc, argv );

  return 0;

is supossed autoops make it all for me? or I have to add some code?

I tried to change command line options, specifying rcfile, etc... without any
changes.

I'm using Debian's 3.0 autogen 5.3.5-1

What I'm missing? any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
