[Bug 342433] Re: hexdump :: irregular illegal seek
Hi Ralph, could you please download and execute the updated test script I have provided to verify that your version is running correctly?

** Summary changed: - hexdump :: unexpected error when input ends with backslash + hexdump :: irregular illegal seek ** Description changed: Binary package hint: bsdmainutils I just found out that the hexdump program from the bsdmainutils package at least version 6.1.10ubuntu2 (also version 6.1.6 in Debian 4) for - architecture AMD64 has some curious race conditional errors when dealing - with backslashes at the end of a string while using the -s option - (although there might be other characters or byte codes as well that may - crash hexdump). + architecture AMD64 throws an illegal seek error when dealing with + stdin input while using the -s option. - Simple test: echo test\\ | hexdump -s 1 + Simple test: echo test | hexdump -s 1 Most times all things are OK but sometimes it just throws an error: hexdump: stdin: Illegal seek The same tests made with od or xxd are OK.

I had to change the bug title and description because I just found out that the error does occur with any string.
