Message-ID: <2427@srava.sra.JUNET> Date: 18 Aug 89 02:34:58 GMT Reply-To: katsu@sra.JUNET (Katsuhiro Watanabe) Organization: Software Research Associates, Inc., Japan Lines: 35 Hello, world. I am using 4.3BSD on VAX. I found a bug on sed of BSDs, so I would like to report it. Even if no substitution have been made before `t'(since the most recent reading of and input line), it often branches. For example: n125:104%cat t.sed # 1{ s/.*// d } t set s/.*/t flag have been reset./ q : set s/.*/t flag is still set./ q n125:105%echo '1\ 2' | sed -f t.sed Then, on VAX, I get "t flag is still set.". On SUN, "t flag have been reset.". On VAX, there is an inconsistency with manual. I think it occurs on most BSDs except SUN. Is this known yet? thank you. ----____----____ WATANABE Katsuhiro Software Tools and Technology Division, SRA Inc., Japan. Not compute f(x), but evaluate it.
