+ od --skip (-j) works even on files in /proc, when the kernel lies
+ * src/od.c (skip): Don't let kernel misinformation (nonempty files
+ in /proc with stat.st_size == 0) make "od -j N" misbehave.
+ Patch by Paul Eggert.
+ * NEWS: Document this work-around.
+ * tests/misc/od-zero-len: New file, test for the above.
+
* src/printf.c (usage): Adjust summary to also mention OPTIONs.
