>Description:

getopt(3) claims that options that is not in the optstring are
`illegal', and they may be invalid or bad or unknown, but in most
jurisdictions they are not infact illegal.

>How-To-Repeat:

code inspection

>Fix:

Replace `illegal' with another word, I leave it to a native to choose.
