Thanks for reporting.
I agree that some validation steps are missing, but I tried a little bit
and did not reproduce a crash.

On my 8 cores system:
[dmarchan@dmarchan dpdk]$ ./master/app/testpmd --no-huge -l
567890,567891,567892 -m 512 --log-level *:debug -- -i --total-num-mbufs 2048
[...]
EAL: Support maximum 128 logical core(s) by configuration.
EAL: Detected 8 lcore(s)
[...]
EAL: invalid core list

Usage: ./master/app/testpmd [options]
etc...


[dmarchan@dmarchan dpdk]$ ./master/app/testpmd --no-huge -l 2,3,-1 -m 512
--log-level *:debug -- -i --total-num-mbufs 2048
[...]
EAL: Support maximum 128 logical core(s) by configuration.
EAL: Detected 8 lcore(s)
EAL: Detected 1 NUMA nodes
[...]
Done
testpmd>
Bye...

Idem with

[dmarchan@dmarchan dpdk]$ ./master/app/testpmd --no-huge -l 2,3,567890 -m
512 --log-level *:debug -- -i --total-num-mbufs 2048
[...]
EAL: Support maximum 128 logical core(s) by configuration.
EAL: Detected 8 lcore(s)
EAL: Detected 1 NUMA nodes
[...]
Done
testpmd>
Bye...


Since you have identified a potential crash, can you give an example of
such a crash ?
Besides, we have tests that check arguments, so an update of the test would
be nice.

Thanks.
