found a bug in head

the bug I found is very simple to explain:
address@hidden:~$ echo|head -08
head: 08: number of lines is so large that it is not representable
address@hidden:~$ echo|head -07

address@hidden:~$ echo|head -n 08
head: 08: number of lines is so large that it is not representable
address@hidden:~$ echo|head -n 8

address@hidden:~$ echo|head -n 9

address@hidden:~$ echo|head -n 09
head: 09: number of lines is so large that it is not representable
address@hidden:~$ echo|head -n 000000000007

address@hidden:~$ echo|head -n 000000000009
head: 000000000009: number of lines is so large that it is not representable
address@hidden:~$ echo|head -n 000000000008
head: 000000000008: number of lines is so large that it is not representable

I'm using a debian woody, but I found that this bug
is present even in the 2.0 original source code.
