Fixed in 8.0.14.

Previously, for command options that take a numeric value, the value
could be given with a suffix of K, M, or G to indicate a multiplier
of 1024, 1024^2 or 1024^3. Now a suffix can also be T, P, and E to
indicate a multiplier of 1024^4, 1024^5 or 1024^6. Thanks to Daniel
Black for the patch.
