Thanks for the report. But I cannot recreate your problem. Can you
submit a test case that illustrates this problem? Something like this
perhaps?
printf "\t1\t2\n" | expand | od -c -tx1
0000000 1
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 31 20 20 20 20 20 20 20
0000020 2 \n
printf "\t1\t2\n" | expand | unexpand | od -c -tx1
0000000 \t 1 2 \n
09 31 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 32 0a
printf "\t1\t2\n" | expand | unexpand -a | od -c -tx1
0000000 \t 1 \t 2 \n
09 31 09 32 0a
As you can see this works here.
> P2-400 / Gentoo 1.4-rc2 / kernel 2.4.19
Could you supply the version of expand that you are using? The
versions of the software that you supplied matter not. It is the
version of the expand and unexpand programs that are in question.
expand --version
