Enough people complained about this, that… it too is "fixed" (though I argue that there's absolutely nothing wrong with having "-h" be invalid to getopts -- the end result is the same with exception to the "illegal option -h" extra-line of output that everybody seems to complain about. Also mind you, that much of the FreeBSD Operating System suffers from this ""bug""

Like "tzsetup -h" and many others that are this way. I just can't win (inconsistencies everywhere in the system w/respect to this).
