  Modified files:
    bin/dd               args.c 
  Log:
  Let count=-something fail, while count=0 may succeed, thus making dd(1)
  useful as a seeking-tool as well as its many other uses.  Previously,
  dd(1) would succeed with count=0, but wouldn't get to the point that
  blocks were to be read/written. This is a more useful behavior, and
  this specific case doesn't seem to be handled by POSIX.
