BUG/MINOR: init: -S can have a parameter starting with a dash

There is no reason the -S option can't take an argument which starts with
a -. This limitation must only be used for options that take a
non-finite list of parameters (-sf/-st)

This can be backported only if the previous patch which fixes
copy_argv() is backported too.

Could be backported as far as 1.9.
