The problem is really simple to fix, in the file "tracer.c" there is a typo:

        case ('S'):  /* amount of susie */
            if (argv[i][2] < '0' || argv[i][2] > 9)
                                                 ^
                                                 |
                                              single quote this
                                          or it will always evaluate to be
                                          true.
