In the long option error path, the code previously returned BADARG immediately when optstring[0] == ':' for a missing required argument, without advancing "optind" or resetting "place". This error handling was inconsistent with the short option path, where both updates are performed before returning BADARG (and inconsistent with libc, additionally..). This affects platforms where our port version of getopt_long() is used, a concept that should be limited to WIN32 these days. An argument could be made in favor of a backpatch, but this could lead to a slight different error handling, for a report that would only show up when using incorrect option combinations.
