Details:

Example code:


octave:1> sombrero 
octave:2> print ("", 'blah.jpg')
error: strncmp: N must be greater than 0
error: called from
    __print_parse_opts__ at line 109 column 13
    print at line 417 column 8


It's not a big deal, but this seems like something that should work.

In my case, I discovered it because I had code that added extra options when
the filetype was a specific format, but added nothing when it was not.
