Wrong intervals with bedtools makewindows

I want to use bedtools makewindows first to create a sliding window over the genome and later to compute GC content with bedtools nuc. However, I am having some issues with the makewindows tools, since the intervals seem not to correspond to what is being introduced in the options. For example:

bedtools makewindows -b file.vcf -w 1000 
bedtools makewindows -b file.vcf -w 1000 -s 1

Both generate a file with the first lines being like:

C0001   14      15
C0001   15      16
C0001   16      17
C0001   17      18

Consider also the following short VCF file for reproducibiliy:

Running bedtols makewindows -b file.vcf -w 2 -s 1 on it will generate again windows of size 1 and not 2. What is going on?
