thank you very much for this bug report! I still think this should be
on hackers@ though.

Looking into the issue, I found the following problem roughly at the
same time Dimitris did:
while (skip - addr) {
Normally, skip is 0, and on the first file, addr is 0 as well, so the
overflow issue was masked.
However, when od() was called with a second file, addr was > 0 and it
would enter the loop, resulting in all sorts of strangeness.
While at it, I fixed how od(1) prints out trailing addresses and lines.
This was broken beforehand, but rather trivial to fix.
