Re: [Bug-ddrescue] --skip-size broken, and --cluster-size sort of broken

Hi Antonio,

Back in 1.17, you fixed the --cluster-size so that it would be special 
when it was set to 1, so that no trimming would be needed. Starting in 
1.18pre2 that became somewhat broken again. See the logfile examples 
below. I tried to adjust for this by using the --skip-size option, but 
no matter what number I put for its value, it gives the error "Numerical 
argument out of limits".
