Thanks, correct.  I noticed that when I had just sent the email.

It also has the advantage that it's even longer...  ;-)

Startup command line parsing.  It fixed it like this:

#v+
2007-04-04  Thomas Schwinge  <tschwinge@gnu.org>

        * opts-std-startup.c (parse_startup_opt)
        <_diskfs_no_inherit_dir_group>: Swap the options into the correct
