[Bug 1161073] Re: seq puts the separator on wrong spot!

[MMlosh]

I noticed another separator issue with "seq" (also coreutils, same
version)


I tried to sort a .csv file containing the following lines by the 2nd column....
38,41,10,7
70,37,23,10

using
sort -nr -t, -k2

That happily worked in Quantal, but does only something weird in Raring.

I expect the entire coreutils package to be separator-defective. No
wonder it's stuck in debian Sid and didn't go in Jessie...

  Confirmed

  $ seq -s,  5

  Expected: 1,2,3,4,5
  Got: 1\n2,3,4,5,
