Hi Padraig, You say "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 investigate further myself, but I need to get set up to build coreutils first.
