spark 010 10 generates a graph like

▁█

which seems to be bug because both equals ten.

markusfisch commented 11 years ago

Actually that's a feature since 010 is interpreted as octal number because of the 0 prefix. See man bash for more info about that or just try:

echo $(( 010 ))

Which gives 8 decimal.

It's a strange feature, to be sure, but I'm going to stick with it for now.
