Bug in od

[Keith P. Boruff]

To whom it may concern,

I discovered an 'endian' bug when executing od in the following manner: 
od -Ax -t x2 baseball.txt on my Linux O/S (with an Intel processor). The 
dump for this command is in the file 'little_endian.txt'.

Seeing that the data layout of this execution was corrupted due to the 
endian problem, I also ran the same command (same args) on a Sun 
workstation. The results are on big_endian.txt

Also included is the file 'baseball.txt' for which od processed.

I'm a bit of a novice at CVS but if I can figure it out, perhaps I could 
look at the source and fix the problem myself? I have a pretty good idea 
what the deal is. However, I can't make any promises at this time.

In any case, I thought I'd bring this to your attention. If you need 
anymore information, I'd be happy to oblige.

Thanks,
Keith P. Boruff
