hexl-mode bug in Emacs 20.7

[Seth Tisue]

Hi... at this URL:

  http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-gnu-emacs/2000-October/000288.html

Eli Zaretskii claimed (recently!) that the bug in hexl-mode that
garbles the contents of most small binary files has been fixed in
Emacs 20.7, but this seems not to be the case; I am running 20.7 as
shipped with RedHat Linux 7.0:

  % emacs --version
  GNU Emacs 20.7.1
  Copyright (C) 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

and I am experiencing the exact same problem.

An example file that produces the problem is given at:

  http://lists.openresources.com/Debian/debian-bugs-forwarded/msg00547.html

Looks like this is one that has been reported before but accidentally
slipped through the cracks.  Thanks for taking a look...
