Looks good to me, thanks.
I can have a look at adding multi-byte character support to 'od', by the
way. I think some changes have to made to process 2 blocks at a
time. That should allow you to handle characters which cross block
boundaries.
Cool, POSIX has some notes on multi-byte at:

Re buffering for cut(1) I'm playing around with extending mbbuf
to provide buffers while auto handling MCEL_LEN_MAX slop at the end.
cheers,
