[PATCH] hexdump: don't print bytes with bit 7 set

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Mon Nov 26 2007 - 12:45:26 EST


From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>

As Herbert Xu pointed out, bytes (chars) with bit 7 (0x80) set are
true with isprint() but they may not be isascii() but be Unicode
instead, so don't try to print them in hex dumps.
