It appears to be because of a bug in GTK+; the page at

	http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/

says:

	The latest version of my port, 19991218, might be buggier than
	the next-to-previous version, 1990828.  If you have problems
	with the latest version, try the 19990828 version instead.

I first grabbed the packages

	glib-dev-19991218.zip
	gtk+-dev-20000104.zip
	extralibs-dev-19991218.zip

which are under "Developer packages" on that page; those produced a
mangled hex dump window.

So I backed up to the 19990828 version, by following the link from that
page to

	http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/index-19990828.html

and downloaded and installed the "Developer packages" from that page;
that seemed to work better (although it appears that, in the hex dump
window, the boldfaced versions of characters are wider than the normal
version, so the display is a little wrong on the lines that have
selected data).
