Details

Description:

When shuf executes -e without give the expected input lines, it will
assign n_lines to 0 in "write_random_lines" while the "repeat" (-r) be set.
and this var will be as the genmax parameter when "randint_genmax" function
called.

This leads to a segmentation fault.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
coreutils 8.22
