If I want a program to duplicate the line, and sometimes it truncates it
then that program does not work correctly.  For every programming

Except that sometimes it does not duplicate the output correctly.

The program has a bug in it - to whit whenever an input line is longer
than 512 bytes, the output is incorrect.
