It's because of the two ways of specifying required arguments. The  
long options definition said (before your patch) that if argument is  
required. However, when using short options, getopt_long uses the  
string "+hVv46EH:s:e:q:m:c:w:t:p:C:W:d:Sr:jD:M:" which does not  
specify an argument (no colon after the j).

In tests, I vary between using short and long options. It is probably  
overkill to test every possible permutation, given this was a  
relatively small error.
