Summary

0000784: [PATCH] wc -c command returns extra characters

Description

It is harder to use the 'wc' command for scripting because of this minor issue.

When executing the command in coreutils:
$ echo hello | wc -c
6

Executing it in busybox 1.1.0:
$ echo hello | wc -c
6

It should not show extra characters when invoking with only one flag:
I've provided a VERY simple patch to fix this minor issue.
