+Calling client_add_key as follows
+
+  client_add_key -
+
+will fail. However using an explicit -shared option, like this:
+
+  client_add_key -shared -
+
+will succeed. This is caused by a failure to parse the - key token, which is
+mistaken for the first character of an option argument.
+
+The client_add_key command also returns a spurious "success" message when a
+malformed option is supplied.
+
+This patch fixes both issues.

+Trying to add a menu item using menu_add_item causes a segmentation fault
+in the LCDd server. This is caused by a read beyond the end of an array.
+
+This patch adds a safety check on the size of the argument array.
