A command-line to reproduce the crash would be nice.

I noticed this line above your fix:
set_option_parameter_int(param, BLOCK_OPT_SIZE, img_size);

If I follow correctly there should be an "Unknown option 'size'" error
message before set_option_parameter_int() returns -1 (which we ignore)
and then crash.

Perhaps we should just catch the error when set_option_parameter_int() fails?
