minadj_count is updated before the array is populated. The effect is
that opt_min_adj[0] is always 0. I would expect the pool to always get
zerod then in that case. Did you mean to do something like
if (minadj_count == MAX_POOLS)
WARNING("Attempting to adjust pool too "
"many times, "
"ignoring request: '%s'\n", optarg);
else
opt_min_adj[minadj_count++] = optarg;
