  The od utility doesn't seem to behaving properly. With the -x option, it
reverses bytes e.g. 5245 4f43 when it should be 4552 434f. With no options,
I can detect no correspondence to the actual input data and no pattern
whatsoever. What character is an octal 503? The -c option works, but is not
so useful.
