Subject: bug#25832: split (v 8.25) with numeric suffixes beyond 89
Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 11:55:15 +1100

Hello

Incorrect numeric suffixes are sometimes produced when going beyond 
number 89:

Assume a file "test.txt" with 1000 lines, and the command

$ split -d -l 10 test.txt test_

I expect files test_00 through test_99, but what I get are test_00 
through test_89 and test_9000 through test_9009.

The same happens when I use

$ split --numeric-suffixes -l 10 test.txt test_

but not when I use this line:

$ split --numeric-suffixes=0 -l 10 test.txt test_

I have not found this bug mentioned before, but if I missed this, I am 
sorry.

$ split --version
