As definition, max is the right bound for value. opt->max - 1 is valid.
May be you should remove the equals sign.
It should be no problem to just solve this null pointer issue() (How is
this stack triggered, may be I lost something.), but this should be a
general boundary check condition, strictly speaking, it's a check for
the validity of the options' value.
Thanks,
