core dump running demo_verb

[AvdN]

You get a core-dump if you run the demo_verb example program and only provide a verb and the error message "Short command line options are not supported", doesn't make much sense in that context:

$ /demo_verb foo                                                                                   
Short command line options are not supported.

When providing an option, the core dump doesn't happen (but the error message still doesn't make much sense)
