getopt (3) problem?

In compiling and running some things, I have found that getopt doesn't act
right. When it runs out of parameters instead of returning an EOF it returns
a -1. 

I have called my Rep and he said he'd pass it along. 

I've used getopt quite a bit on Suns, Vax, PS/2's, 370's, so I don't think
its operator error.

The work around I use is like this:

	while(( c = getopt( argc, argv, "d:m" )), c != EOF && c != -1 ) {
		switch( c ) {
		  .
		  .
		  .
		}
	}

Keeping the world informed...
Paul.
