Hi!

A pal of mine noticed that `echo <cmd> ? | birdc` executes the command <cmd> after showing it's help text is shown. I later confirmed that `birdcl` in comparison to `birdc` does not show this behaviour.

Since this is a non intuitive side effect on birdc's side, here a proposed patch to align birdc and birdcl's behaviour.

Please advise if fixing it on another part might be preferred. I chose birdc.c, to minimize the changes needed.

Thanks, merged. Sorry for the delay, i missed / forgot about the patch. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
