>The Linux shell command: $ cut -c6- de.text > de2.text >outputs 2114 correct lines with first 5 characters removed. >Starting with line 2115, the two characters (hex 80, hex AF) are >prepended to every output line. The rest of each output line is >correct. >I have attached the file "de.text" which triggers this bug. >I am using Ubuntu 25.04 in case that matters. Those characters are in your input file (starting at line 2115).
