Invalid argument!

1) Please don't cut off the stack. Its very useful when debugging problems
like this.

2) When reading one of these true/false options, it got an unprintable
character
     instead of nothing (hence the weird error message). I recommend giving
a
     valid 1/0 to every option. Its typically some Windows/Linux
incompatibility
     like \r.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments
is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments
lead.
