As a side note I notice that solaris and bsd align
to the start of the digits, rather than to the end.
Anyway....

I was able to reproduce this on 5.97:
$ head -n1 /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.9 (Tikanga)
$ /usr/bin/od --version | head -n1
od (GNU coreutils) 5.97
$ echo ' appl' | /usr/bin/od -ctx1
0000000 a p p l \n
20 20 20 20 20 20 61 70 70 6c 0a
0000013
Anyway this is already fixed, I suspect by something like:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commit;h=20c0b870
thanks,
