You're byteswapping.? asdf isn't 66647361, it's 61736466.? You did this on an
x86 box, which stores words in byteswapped (little-endian) order.? See this
blog entry for important safety tips on mistakes like this:

??? http://blogs.sun.com/danmcd/entry/endian_independence_not_just_for

You should do this for your od:

??? od -tx1

which will spit things out one byte at a time, neatly avoiding byteswapping.

Try again without the byteswapping (and without the newline, you got that
part right).
