cp --no-preserve=mode now no longer exits non-zero.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
+ cut with a range like "N-" no longer allocates N/8 bytes. That buffer
+ would never be used, and allocation failure could cause cut to fail.
+ [bug introduced in coreutils-8.10]
+
cut no longer accepts the invalid range 0-, which made it print empty lines.
Instead, cut now fails and emits an appropriate diagnostic.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
