>Description:
         geom has a weird help message system when ran with 1-2 args
 	I know the syntax used in the examples is wrong but there is no error message explaining that.
>How-To-Repeat:
# geom list
usage: geom list help
# geom list help
usage: geom list help
# geom help
usage: geom help help
#geom badoption
usage: geom badoption help
>Fix:
         Needs a patch here:

# cat -n /usr/src/sbin/geom/core/geom.c | grep -B 1 -A 2 strcmp\(comm
    509          snprintf(comm, sizeof(comm), "%s", basename((*argv)[0]));
    510          if (strcmp(comm, "geom") == 0) {
?  511                  if (*argc < 2)
    512                          geom_usage();
