Comment:
Thanks for the report.
Regarding point (1), the help text currently says
{{{
-N<n> Use <n> processors (default: 1)
-N Determine the number of processors to use automatically
}}}
I think this is correct, but I can see how it might be misinterpreted.
The usage of the word "default" is consistent with the way we use it in
the rest of the help text: that is, it refers to the value that the RTS
will use in the absence of the option, not in the absence of the *value*.
Please feel free to suggest a change that might help.
I'll fix points (2) and (3).
