I don't know what the combination of options that came out to be did,
but it shouldn't segfault.

    Hello,

    I have a bug report here on parchive that it segfaults on some command
line input.  The proximate cause seems to be a -n option without a value,
but I haven't looked into it beyond confirming that "parchive -n" causes the
same behaviour.  If you like, I'm sure I can come up with a patch, but not
for a few weeks since I'm otherwise occupied.  Please let me know if you
have a fix in the works for this or get to it before I do.

    In your reply, please also preserve the cc to at least
<155432-forwarded@bugs.debian.org> so that the Debian Bug Tracking System is
kept up to date.  Thanks.
