Agreed, but! The modification should be made to the section that handles
the 's' option shouldn't it? Like say setting log=NULL or something? The
problem is that the case statement leaves 'log' in the default state and
that later on it's value becomes important. A lousy situation... Any better
ideas?

I propose this patch instead.
