I can't reproduce it:
$ identify -units Bohol_Tarsier.jpg
identify: option requires an argument `-units' @ error/identify.c/IdentifyImageCommand/839.

It segfaulted only if I run it even without image filename like "identify -units". But what the intention of them? It absurd by nature, is not?

I agree that's absurd, but I simply forgot the -units value. Independent from this, a well programmed tool should never dump core if an operating error happens.
