Great news--thanks!

Thank you.  All of these are same (presumably the same implementation of
od(1), or genetically related ones, are in use), and they appear to be
spurious.

My regex is too strict:

---snip---
echo "checking that right edge of table after heading looks like -|" >&2 
echo "$output" | grep -q '0000040 .*  *e2  *94  *a4  *0.$' || wail
---end snip---

I failed to anticipate that these "od"s would pad the output line with
spaces to the 73rd column.

Regards,
Branden
