Hi Padraig,

You say &quo= t;quite a while".

This issue was found in: coreutils-8.23_1
=
Installed on OS X using brew.

Pulling the current source I can see there have= been several releases since then, but a git diff / log doesn't seem to= produce any relevant changes, i.e.:

git diff v8.23.. -- src/seq.c


Are you *sure* that this = range in particular doesn't reproduce in the latest?

I'm happy to investi= gate further myself, but I need to get set up to build coreutils first.

Thanks
Thad

That's been fixed for quite a while,
with the latest versions just manipulating text
for simple integers like this, and so can work
for any length strings.

Yes. That range triggers the fast string manipulation code here. It's very surprising it doesn't there. I see that seq is on OS X: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/seq.1.html So please ensure you're not using the native seq, and rather gseq If still an issue, you'd need to debug it further there as I've not got access to OS X here. thanks, Pádraig.

You are correct, my apologies! I was still using the defau= lt seq, not gseq installed by brew!

Oh, it should have been fixed from release 8.20 (2012-10-23)

It's very surprising it doesn't there.

I see that seq is on OS X:
https://developer.apple.= com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/seq.1.html=
So please ensure you're not using the native seq, and rather gseq

If still an issue, you'd need to debug it further there
as I've not got access to OS X here.

thanks,
