The crash is real. It is Visual C++ 2005 that throws exceptions on invali=
d
options.

There are other strangeness that might appears logical at the seconf thou=
ght.
For example, strchr returns a 'const char *' in VC2005 although standard =
C says
that strchr should returns a char *. So loaders that do ( from memory ) :

const char *filename;
char *pt =3D strchr( filename, "/" );
*pt =3D '\0';

must be rewritten to add a const_cast statement.
