Subject: hexl-mode bug
--text follows this line--
This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
 not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

In GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-*-nt5.1.2600)
 of Wed Jun 14 2000 on buffy
configured using `configure NT'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Reading the file hexl-bug.dat (attached to this email)
generates the following output:

00000000: 2881 ff29                                (..)

But (as you will see if you look at hexl-bug.dat)
the actual file is only 3 bytes long and contains,
in order the following 3 chars: 0x28, 0xff, and 0x29.

Recent input:
