i'm running socat version 1.4.2.0-1, and i don't see any hexadecimal 0xB4 characters in the man page, despite there being many 0x27 characters there:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] socat]$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/socat.1.gz | hexdump -e '1/1 " %02x " "\n"' | grep ' B4 ' | wc -l 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] socat]$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/socat.1.gz | hexdump -e '1/1 " %02x " "\n"' | grep ' 27 ' | wc -l 94 [EMAIL PROTECTED] socat]$ i think you can safely close this bug. hth, --dkg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
