Package: siege
Version: 2.61-3
Severity: normal

After a typingmistake I discovered that siege --h segfaults. This seems
to be true for any invalid option. gdb shows that it segfaults in
strncmp. Not having looked at the source I think that siege iterates
over a list of options and compares to some invalid pointer marking the
end of list. This should be easily fixable.
