That was a great tip the two of you gave me, and did indeed tell me exactly
what I wanted to know. Unfortunately, this wasn't a real life setup and the
task specifies that we must use hexdump. As I said earlier, I was very

I failed to take account of the fact that in Linux there are always at least
two ways to skin a cat. :-(
