hexl-insert-hex-char is supposed to change a character meaning the file
size should remain the same. But it actually deletes 7 bytes from the
file. Here is how to reproduce it:
* In the shell, I ran: env printf
'\xee\x00\x4a\x7b\x30\x90\x00\x40\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x0
0\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' >! /tmp/testfile
* In the shell, I ran "env ls -l /tmp/testfile". It output:
-rw-r--r-- 1 jburckhardt jburckhardt 23 Feb 7 17:27 /tmp/testfile
* emacs -q /tmp/testfile &
* M-x hexl-mode <return>
* M-x hexl-insert-hex-char <return>
* ff <return>
* C-x C-s
* Type 'y' to acknowledge the warning about loss of undo info.
* In the shell, I ran "env ls -l /tmp/testfile". It output:
-rw-r--r-- 1 jburckhardt jburckhardt 16 Feb 7 17:29 /tmp/testfile
Notice that the first ls command said 23 bytes, but the last ls command
said 16 bytes. So it lost 7 bytes. The second ls command should have
also said 23 bytes.
This happened on GNU Emacs 23.1.1 on a machine whose "uname -a" says:
Linux bb003-centos-02 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 16
