G_usage() is depreciated?  Even so, the above changes should not fix the
module.

Did G_parser() somehow succeed without command-line arguments before
this patch was applied (and why for you and not for me?)?  That would
explain how G__find_file() was segfaulting on a null pointer
dereference.

This is very strange.
