Another missed fall-through.
I realized this.. but if tmp<= 0, then the given value is invalid
so an error message should be displayed.


        case PO_BAD_VALUE:
+        nfs_error(_("%s: invalid value for 'nfsprog=' option"),

                return 0;
            }

What I meant before is that, with this new code, this error diagnostic
is displayed for "vers=booger" but not for "vers=12".  I think it should
be displayed in both cases.
ah... This is not only routine where PO_FOUND is returned but the
value is invalid...

PO_FOUND here means the option was a keyword/value pair, and the value
was numeric (but not necessarily a legal value for this option, so the
caller has to do some range checking).  PO_BAD_VALUE means the option
was a keyword/value pair, and the value wasn't numeric, and is thus
definitely not valid.

PO_NOT_FOUND probably means the option was found, but the option isn't
specified as a keyword/value; ie. "vers" by itself rather than "vers=n".
  (Although you should check that, my recollection may be rusty).  Also
invalid, and should be reported.

Or, PO_NOT_FOUND could mean the option wasn't found at all, but since
po_rightmost() found it, that would be a software bug in this case.
I believe I'm understanding the logic... Whether the given
value is either a PO_BAD_VALUE (should be an integer and its not)
or a value that is out of range (the PO_FOUND cause), the given value
is still "invalid"...

PO_NOT_FOUND value is basically a parsing error and if its not recoverable as
with some cases, we should generate a message...

So as long as we identify the above three cases and give a pointer to the
incorrect option, I think that will be fine...

Agreed. At this point in nfs_nfs_version() and friends, though, I don't think there's any difference between any of these cases, so you might be OK with an even simpler patch that just does:

	/*FALLTHROUGH*/
	default:
		nfs_error(_("%s: bad xxx option"), progname);

What do you think?
