Hello, nasm developers.

Here is another NPD raised by parse_cmdline, found by fuzzing. The command
input is very simple in this case.

Command Input:
nasm --pragma

Output:
nasm: error: option `--pragma' requires an argument

Sanitizer Dump:
==26582==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x000000000000 (pc
0x5555556853dc bp 0x7fffffffe040 sp 0x7fffffffdf90 T0)
==26582==The signal is caused by a READ memory access.

gcc: 7.5.0
nasm: 2.17rc0 (Git master branch, a916e4127b2eaa3bf40bddf3de9b0ceefc0d98a)

Note that we built nasm with sanitizers.

Thank you.
