Georg, Ignore this bug. This is Invalid and  sorry for the confusion.
I was trying with single option with '=' sign.

May be, I have forgotten the Unix standard that '=' symbol goes with
'--' options only.

If other people also get confused by this, may be the following sentence
can be added, otherwise just close this bug as Invalid.

" The '=' sign after the argument goes along with '--' options only.
This is well indicated by the help message of optparse. "
