 Log Message:
 t_cut.sh: correct a test case for -n (PR bin/59029)
 
 The test case added before was based on how a version of GNU coreutils
 cut(1) -- as patched by Red Hat to accept this flag -- behaved, but in
 fact it, and OpenBSD's implementation, too, doesn't distinguish between
 -c and -b -n, which doesn't align with the meaning/implementation used
 in commercial Unix variants that originally offered -n (e.g., Solaris
 and Tru64).
 
 The new version of the test case clearly illustrates the differences
 between interpretations of this flag (Solaris, FreeBSD, RHEL/Fedora,
 OpenBSD).
