      Unix sort produced the answer I expected: sort on the single character
-     in column 6.  GNU sort produced different results, because it disagrees
-     on the interpretation of the key-end spec "-M.N".  Unix sort reads this
-     as "skip M fields, then N characters"; but GNU sort wants it to mean
-     "skip M fields, then either N characters or the rest of the current
+     in column 7.  GNU sort produced different results, because it disagrees
+     on the interpretation of the key-end spec "M.N".  Unix sort reads this
+     as "skip M-1 fields, then N-1 characters"; but GNU sort wants it to mean
+     "skip M-1 fields, then either N-1 characters or the rest of the current
      field, whichever comes first".  This extra clause applies only to
      key-ends, not key-starts.
