Thanks for the report.
However, I don't see a problem.
I admit it might look like those suffixes are not supported:
$ dd bs=1 seek=1Z of=x < /dev/null
dd: invalid number `1Z'
[Exit 1]
But that's just because 1Z and 1Y are larger than 2^64.
You can use "0" instead of "1", to show that they are
indeed accepted:
$ dd bs=1 seek=0Y of=x < /dev/null
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 1.4038e-05 s, 0.0 kB/s
If you still see a problem, please show the precise
command you tried to run, and the output it produced.
