Package: cdparanoia
Version: 3.10+debian~pre0-4
Severity: normal

Shouldn't work, but does:

    cdparanoia -z 5 9 output_file

Due to the current syntax of '-z', the '5' is seen a track number, and
thus the output file name is '9'.  Which leaves the the final parameter
left over.

There seems to be no current parameter limit; even 200 surplus
parameters works:

    % cdparanoia -z 5 9 output `seq 200`

It would be better if those invocations triggered a  error, e.g.:

    Error -- no parameters allowed after output file '9'.

...naming the output file, so the user sees which part is surplus.  
I worry some hasty programmer might suppose this would be enough:

    Error -- too many parameters.

...but that leaves the user guessing, probably guessing wrong, which
parameters are surplus.


Hope this helps...
