I added a bug with batch mode in February last year, where the code path that 
displays the unknown option error in the minibuf had nowhere to write it before 
option processing had completed to determine whether to display in batch mode 
or curses mode.

I pushed an ugly fix just now, which I'll clean up as I modularize the various 
source files properly and isolate them from each other except along interface 
boundaries - right now almost everything happens in the global name space, and 
each file can see the status of code from other files (by design, carried over 
from C Zile).

Cheers,
