      - add -p pathsep option
      - make wrap to zero work, but produce a warning
  While here:
      - fix gcc warnings, in particular variable clobbered warnings
        (compiling with fewer warnings does not really fix the problem)
  =========================================================================================
  
  These wording changes clarify the default rollover behavior
  as a "kludge".  Also, the block numbers and octet counts for 65535 blocks
  and 32767 blocks are more accurate than the existing documented numbers.
