Hello,

I browsed the GNU coreutils documentation at
http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/ two days ago (both HTML and pdf
formats). I found a bug in the way years are listed:

 1994-1996, 2000-2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc

Instead of:

 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007,
2008, 2009, 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc

Could you correct this, thanks!

Christophe
