The ``bug'':
$ tmux -8
tmux: unknown option -- 8
usage: tmux [-28lquv] [-c shell-command] [-f file] [-L socket-name]
[-S socket-path] [command [flags]]
Explanation:
Support for 88 color terminals in tmux(1) was removed from the source tree
about a year ago, see e.g.
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/tmux/tmux.c.diff?r1=1.116;r2=1.117
while usage() and the manual still mention the option ``-8'' in some places.
The diffs below are supposed to fix usage() in tmux.c, as well as the manpage.
I also adjusted the documented default string for the session option
``terminal-overrides'' to the one currently set in options-table.c
