Are you sure your segfault is in seq, or is it in bash? You neglected to mention which versions you were using: bash --version seq --version However, it seems to me that your problem is that bash tries to slurp all of $() into memory, and seq generated so much data that bash ran out of memory (or overflowed its stack). In other words, it is not a segfault in seq, but bash that crashed, and because you exceeded the limits of what your machine will support. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
