/* Reset the libc getopt() function, which keeps internal state.

* BSD-derived getopt() functions require that optind be reset to 1 in
* order to reset getopt() state. This used to be generally accepted
* way of resetting getopt(). However, glibc's getopt()
* has additional getopt() state beyond optind, and requires that
* optind be set zero to reset its state. So the unfortunate state of
* affairs is that BSD-derived versions of getopt() misbehave if
* optind is set to 0 in order to reset getopt(), and glibc's getopt()
* will core ump if optind is set 1 in order to reset getopt().
*
* More modern versions of BSD require that optreset be set to 1 in
* order to reset getopt(). Sigh. Standards, anyone?
