the bug I found is very simple to explain:
edward@localhost:~$ echo|head -08
head: 08: number of lines is so large that it is not representable
edward@localhost:~$ echo|head -07
edward@localhost:~$ echo|head -n 08
head: 08: number of lines is so large that it is not representable
edward@localhost:~$ echo|head -n 8
edward@localhost:~$ echo|head -n 9
edward@localhost:~$ echo|head -n 09
head: 09: number of lines is so large that it is not representable
edward@localhost:~$ echo|head -n 000000000007
edward@localhost:~$ echo|head -n 000000000009
head: 000000000009: number of lines is so large that it is not representable
edward@localhost:~$ echo|head -n 000000000008
head: 000000000008: number of lines is so large that it is not representable
I'm using a debian woody, but I found that this bug
is present even in the 2.0 original source code.
