Seems sensible. This is what I get on a reasonably recent tree: $ ./seq -f% 1 ./seq: memory exhausted Note however that on gutsy I get the expected: $ seq -f% 1 seq: invalid format string: `%' Try `seq --help' for more information. So perhaps you could use the existing patch/logic from gutsy? cheers, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
