* src/cut.c (sanity_check_pos): check arguments to -f and -c
to better diagnose possible use of column 0, which is
invalid. These were previously being rejected, correctly
so, but with a less than helpful error message.
(ADD_RANGE_PAIR): call sanity_check_pos
(set_fields): remove a special case for value==0, because
ADD_RANGE_PAIR rejects it anyway.
The patch itself is attached instead of pasted inline to avoid
space/tab problems.
James.
