Severity: normal
If the end of a file has duplicate lines, hexdump -C doesn't output the last
line, for example:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=fff bs=1 count=87
$ hexdump -C fff

This worked correctly in the previous release of debian stable, iirc. Also
I haven't tried hexdump's other output modes so they may also be
affected. (Just tried default hexdump without args and it is affected.)
