dd gets several characters wrong when translating from EBCDIC to ASCII
(conv=ascii).  Among these are !, [, and ], as well as several control
characters you could care less about.

The problem is in the array etoa, at line 39 in dd.c (at least in our copy).
The corrected version (which is also commented for readability) follows.

char	etoa[] = {
       /*NUL  SOH  STX  ETX       HT       DEL*/
