freebcp used homegrown command-line option parsing, which made:

        freebcp [...] -t '\\' -n '\\\n'

not do the right thing (although "-t\\\\ -n\\\\\\n" worked).  Switching
to getopt(3) fixed that, and simplified the code.  

src/dblib/bcp.c was confused about the effect of freebcp's -F and -L
(first & last row) options, thinking if one is present, the other must
also be.  That meant that

        freebcp [...] -L 10

would load zero rows.  

Both fixes have been applied to cvs HEAD.
