cut: don't segfault for large unbounded range
* src/cut.c (set_fields): When computing the maximum range endpoint,
take into consideration the start of any unbounded range, like "999-".
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* tests/misc/cut (big-unbounded-b,c,f): Add tests.
Reported by Paul Marinescu in http://debbugs.gnu.org/7993
The bug was introduced on 2004-12-04 via commit 7380cf79.
