transmission-remote --get option not including all files

[wilburpan]

This is on a Linux box, using transmission-daemon and transmission-remote from a terminal. Using the option -g does not include the range of files I want to download. Hopefully this clip from my terminal session will be self explanatory.

man transmission-remote gives me this documentation for the -g option:

-g --get all | file-index | files

Mark file(s) for download. all marks all all of the torrent's files for downloading, file-index adds a single file to the download
list, and files adds multiple files to the download list, such as "-g1,3-5" to add files #1, #3, #4, and #5 to the download list.

Even though I use the option -g3-6, only file no. 3 gets picked for download. I would expect files 3,4,5, and 6 to be turned on.

Sorry, it seems it still happens on r7852. "./remote -t ? -G0-55" does not disable files 0 through 55.

Confirmed. The parser in tr_rpc_parse_list_str() is just too brittle.
