Subject: Use seq, not `yes' to generate link target.
X-Git-Tag: v4.5.12~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=98458bfd368ef9d85e6e210be5d547d2ccbca8c9;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

Use seq, not `yes' to generate link target.
Otherwise, on systems (DJGPP) that emulate pipes using files,
this test would never complete, waiting for `yes' to terminate.
