This seems to be a bug in argp.  Its documentation reads:

        If non-zero, a string containing extra text to be printed
        before and after the options in a long help message, with the
        two sections separated by a vertical tab ('\v'', '\013'')
        character.  By convention, the documentation before the
        options is just a short string explaining what the program
        does.  Documentation printed after the options describe
        behavior in more detail. 

storeread should have a small description of what it does before the \v,
though.

Thanks,
Marcus
