[PATCH] parse-options: fix segmentation fault when a required value is missing

From
OMOlivier Marin <dkr+ml.git@free.fr>
Date

Message-ID
<4884D5CC.2070007@free.fr>
From: Olivier Marin <dkr@freesurf.fr>

p->argc represent the number of arguments that have not been parsed yet, _including_ the one we are currently parsing. If it is not greater than one then there is no more argument.

 I hope this is the right fix.
