Classic user mistake. 'echo' outputs a trailing newline, which IS a character, > sarasa () -- seba > echo 1029384756 | wc -L > 10 but does NOT contribute to the length of the longest line. Try comparing these two commands echo 1029384756 | oc -tx1z printf 1029384756 | oc -tx1z to see what I mean. I'm closing this as not a bug, but feel free to ask further questions. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
