Thanks for the report! Unfortunately, Debian's woody is still based on textutils-2.0, even though that version is quite old -- it's been almost 3(!) years. The latest is textutils-2.0.21, and head from that package no longer has the bug you report. There have been many other bug fixes and improvements since August, 1999.
