Subject: Misalignment for "seq -w"
Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 11:14:53 +0100 (CET)

Dear all,

There are the following problems with the -w parameter of the seq tool:

$seq -w -1 1.0 0
-1.0
0.0
1.0

But it should print:
-1.0
00.0
01.0

A similar problem is observable for: 
$seq -w 10 -.1 1 | head

Best regards,
 Marcel
