Hi,

(Well, this is not really a bug since the program behaves as specified)

wc -l   counts the number of newlines.  If the the file doesn't end with 
a newline then
this number is less the the number of lines in the file.
Wouldn't it be nicer if wc would return the actual number of lines?

Thanks, Yuval
