bug#12019: join command - wrong column moved to start of line with the -v2 option |

Hello Maintainer,
I am using join v8.5 from debian squeeze.
When using the -v2 option with different join fields in files 1 and 2, the
join field which gets moved to the beginning of the result lines is the one
identified by the -1 option, not the one identified by the -2 option.
Here are my test files:
==== file a ====
axx111 keyX axx222
ayy111 keyY ayy222
==== file b ====
xxx111 xxx222 keyX xxx333
zzz111 zzz222 keyZ zzz333
now, the command:
join -v 2 -1 2 -2 3 a b
produces
==== wrong output ====
zzz222 zzz111 keyZ zzz333
instead of
==== expected output ====
keyZ zzz111 zzz222 zzz333
The two following other commands work as expected:
join -v 1 -1 2 -2 3 a b
join -1 2 -2 3 a b
I did not find this problem in your database - or am I mistaken ?
Best regards,
