>Description:
/usr/bin/jot duplicates numbers when called with reps > 17 and an upper bound parameter.  The upper bound parameter is not always necessary, though. See the examples below.

>How-To-Repeat:
Note, -s is not necessary, but makes the output more terse:

% jot -s ' ' 17 1 
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
% jot -s ' ' 17 1 17
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
% jot -s ' ' 18 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
% jot -s ' ' 18 1 18
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
