Re: [Nano-devel] possible fix for bug with -I/--ignorercfiles

[Carl @ TopTheTable.com]

Hee, introducing bugs, sorry about that :)

FYI, this is the relevant paragraph from getopt(3) :

"In order to use getopt() to evaluate multiple sets of arguments, or to
evaluate a single set of arguments multiple times, the variable optreset
must be set to 1 before the second and each additional set of calls to
getopt(), and the variable optind must be reinitialized."

But it seems like you fixed it anyway, so that's all good!

Re: the search history patch I started a while ago, I've not been able 
to work on it since (It's been one of those months!), but it looks like 
I'm free to work on it over the next couple of days - I'll send it to be 
looked over by you guys when it's ready.

Regards,
Carl.
