The return value from handle_switch() is a bit tricky. It is actually points to
the current args which about to be expired.

Take a look at this code which invoke the handle_switch().
    for (;;) {
        char *arg = *++args;      <---------------- notice the ++
before the fetch
        if (!arg)
            break;

        if (arg[0] == '-' && arg[1]) {
            args = handle_switch(arg+1, args); <-------- args return here.
            continue;
        }
        add_ptr_list_notag(filelist, arg);
    }

So the caller loop will perform 1 pointer advance before fetch.
Your code can advance 2 pointer, so that is  total 3 pointer advance.

Sorry about that, I jump to the code first. I later notice that  in
the commit message as well.

Any way, the change I push should fix all that.
