Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2005 20:44:29 +0800

 Hi,
 The problem seems to be that
 struct option cpio_longopts[] is not
 terminated by an element containing all zeroes.
 Thus passing any non-existant option causes cpio to seg fault.
 For example
 cpio --hsaliak will also seg fault. 
 Appending such an element removes memory faults caused by passing non existant
 options.
 I have appended a patch to options.c. 
 Hope it helps!
 
 Regards,
 Kailash
