[prog] is this a bug with `od` ??

[Hamster]

Hi,

I've been playing round with `od` all day today, and came across a behaviour
which I'm not sure is intentional, or if the problem lies with me.

Let's say I use od to view the contents of a file using the following set of
parameters: `od -A x -tx1 file`

I'll get the following output:

$ od -A x -tx1 file
000000 20 30 38 0a
000004
$

However, if I try to switch off the printing of the offset, using `od -A n`,
then the output I get is as follows:

$ od -A n -tx1 file
 20 30 38 0a
$

What I'm harping on about here is that it puts a space before the output
when you switch off printing of the offset.

To me, it looks like a bug; the code omits the offset, but doesnt omit the
space between the offset and the start of the file contents.

What do other people think? Is that space there for a reason?
