Fix bug with od/hd/hexdump. "*" lines are supposed to indicate one or
duplicates of the previous line, but a small file with less then 16
characters of zeros in it will be falsy identified as a repeat of
the (non-existant) previous line. i.e. the first line of output winds
up being a "*". Added a bit of code to handle the degenerate 'there is
no previous line' case for the first line.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
having the same effect, and install a link for this. There is
historic precedence for the command hd(1) (with roughly that output
format) in Xenix, SCO, and a few SysV's that tooks the idea.
Also, added a couple of spaces to the -C format to make the output
better readable.
