>Description:
hexdump(1) and od(1) both state that the humanized conversion character for del is 0xff (255), when the ascii value for DEL is actually 0x7f (127).

The code in conv.c is correct however (from line 169-171):

        } else if (*p == 0x7f) {
                *pr->cchar = 's';
                (void)printf(pr->fmt, "del");
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
