I am sure this is a misinterpretation. The code just does not work that way.
Something you have not notices changed between those versions of your code.
When you say "giving a problem", I assume you mean the option does not take
effect. The most common cause is a misunderstanding of the mechanism. If you
call a function to set something, but subsequently call
SetFromOptions(), it will
be overridden by command line arguments
