Not yet, and I've tried.  I thought it might be because '/dev/hda'
was 20G, and maybe something got maxed out.  But just as you said, the
bug also happens with regular smaller files.

Today I can't get it reproduce as 'root'...  no, I had a different size
'xterm':

        echo $COLUMNS $LINES
        97 32

Stretching the 'xterm' to 99x34 as before, the bug still happens.  So
changing the terminal size makes a difference.  


This may be related, or might be a separate bug:

As root, when 'tweak' starts we see the first line looks like:

 00000000   7F 45 4C 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   .ELF............

...the last ".ELF.." part is ASCII, as is common with hex dump programs.
If the width is increased to 24, the first line looks like:

 00000000   7F 45 4C 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 03 00 01 00 
00 00

...there's no ASCII portion.  I'd expected the width increase to keep the 
ASCII, or
complain.

Press <TAB> with the width at 24, and 'tweak' fails with:

        3 53809      /lib/ld-2.7.so
                                   bf88e000-bf8a3000 rw-p bffeb000 00:00 0      
    [stack]
                                                                                
           ffffe000-fffff000 r-xp 00000000      00:00 0          [vdso]
                                               Aborted

HTH...
