	As I replied a bit latter, the problem is that the argv[]
	strings are overwritten during running of smtp transport-
	agent.  Within the  getopt()  loop you must add wrap
		optarg
	with:
		strdup(optarg)
	thus making sure there exists a preserved option value.

	It is in my lattest snapshots, and CVS, but not in
	ftp.funet.fi releases.  (Haven't done those for a
	while -- I know, I am well overdue..)
