'b' or 't' without a label were compiled incorrectly (they should
branch to the end of script).  Fixing this required small changes in
setup_jump and in main() at the point where jump addresses were
stored (the execution phase already tested for this).

The fixed version can be obtained via anonymous ftp from tukki.jyu.fi
(128.214.7.5) in ~ftp/pub/sed/gnused106t2.tar.Z (or by sending me mail).

Incidentally, if anybody has ftp'd gnused106t1.tar.Z there was another
bug which is also corrected now (it wouldn't compile with non-ANSI
compilers because I'd forgotten to add non-ANSI declaration for
two functions).
