Hi,

I've got a bug report from Sergey Vlasov about split(1) regression
in coreutils v8.8: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/24841

In short, the default suffix length is not 2 as it shall be according to POSIX.
Looks like the regression is due to commit v8.7-25-gbe10739.
For more details and the test case, please have a look at the bug report.
