It looks like seq for integers bigger than 2^64 sometimes generate wrong
results. There are few examples of wrong output I have found:
$ seq 18446744073709551617 inf | head -3
18446744073709551616
18446744073709551617
18446744073709551618
$ seq 10000000000000000000000000000 inf | head -3

We can improve for the above 2 cases anyway,
with something like the attached.
Large magnitude negative start values are still problematic.
Ok I pushed that with a test
included:https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/701416709
Marking this as done.
thanks,
