A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I'm trying to pass an argument to hsdis as a caller option.  It's
not being handled correctly, and I think this is the reason:

static void parse_caller_options(struct hsdis_app_data* app_data, const char* caller_options) {
  char* iop_base = app_data->insn_options;
  char* iop_limit = iop_base + sizeof(app_data->insn_options) - 1;
  char* iop = iop_base;
  const char* p;
  for (p = caller_options; p != NULL; ) {
    const char* q = strchr(p, ',');
    size_t plen = (q == NULL) ? strlen(p) : ((q++) - p);
    if (plen == 4 && strncmp(p, "help", plen) == 0) {
      print_help(app_data, NULL, NULL);
    } else if (plen >= 5 && strncmp(p, "mach=", 5) == 0) {
      char*  mach_option = app_data->mach_option;
      size_t mach_size   = sizeof(app_data->mach_option);
      mach_size -= 1;           /*leave room for the null*/
      if (plen > mach_size)  plen = mach_size;
      strncpy(mach_option, p, plen);
      mach_option[plen] = '\0';
    } else if (plen > 6 && strncmp(p, "hsdis-", 6)) {

Should this be
    ! strncmp(p, "hsdis-", 6)) {

You are correct; that's a bug.
