Seems sensible. This is what I get on a reasonably recent tree:
$ ./seq -f% 1
./seq: memory exhausted
Note however that on gutsy I get the expected:
$ seq -f% 1
seq: invalid format string: `%'
Try `seq --help' for more information.
So perhaps you could use the existing patch/logic from gutsy?
cheers,
