Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 8.0.13
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When using hd without the verbose option, characters in the last
line are not shown if they are identical to those in previous
repeated lines.
% head -c 65 /dev/zero | hd
00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|

% head -c 66 /dev/zero | hd
00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|

Both commands produce the same output from different inputs. At
first glance, one would think from the dumps that there were only 64
bytes (or, less likely, 80 bytes). Even on closer examination, one
cannot tell the number of bytes from the dump, so I think some
relevant information is missing (whereas otherwise the compact,
non-verbose, output is fully reconstructible).
