        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.

        > I almost understand except 0000000 and 1415102464 are decimal values 
not octal, because of the "-Ad" command option. Right?  I don't see the 
correlation between 1,415,102,464 and 10,005,037,056.
        
        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.
