My impression is that you don't like to have a fact based discussion and 
repeatedly try to belittle other people.

As everybody could see, I like to help Olga and I did send a useful list to 
Olga. Olga just needs to compare the output from my od with the output from 
the AT&T od to get _very_ detailed information on all mentioned UTF-8 related 
problems. As you made it very clear that you are not interested in help, I 
did give up trying to help you and as a result did not write down problems 
with your implementaion. From my belly feeling, I would however guess that I 
did see more than 10 problems while testing your current od implementation.

As mentioned before, I decided to use my od implementation on SchilliX because 
I am interested in having a sufficiently compatible distro and I am of course 
listening to every bug report on my software. As my software has been 
published under CDDL, everybody who is interested may use it.
