What's wrong:
The manpage says:
Split reads file and writes it in n-line pieces or n*10
character pieces (if the file is not a text file)
What should have happened:
It actually makes pieces that are n*1024 (not n*10) bytes
long for non-text files, at least on the vax. (And don't tell
me the manpage uses a quadri-hex-hex number base :^)
