In general, it is good to keep replies on the mailing list, so that they
will appear in archives for future reference.  Adding bug-coreutils back
to distribution.

10005037056 modulo 2^32 is 1415102464, in other words, your version of od
used 32-bit math instead of 64-bit math.  Could you please report what 'od
- --version' displays, as well as 'uname -a'?  If yours is not the most
recent version, try upgrading to coreutils 5.93 to see if it has been fixed.
