Hi
This is related to gnu-win32 beta 17.1 under Windows Nt 3.51,
and also the version of August 1996. It looks like sed has
had a bug introduced.
The true sed version number is unknown, since the old and new versions
(as evidenced by executable file size) report the same version number.
Here are the details:
$ x:/gnu-win32/bin/sed --version
GNU sed version 2.05
$ x:/gnu-win32/bin-new/sed --version
GNU sed version 2.05
$ d:/user/local/bin/sed --version
GNU sed version 2.05
$ ls -l d:/user/local/bin/sed.exe x:/gnu-win32/bin-new/sed.exe
x:/gnu-win32/bin/sed.exe
-rwxrwxrwa 1 Everyone Everyone 89600 Apr 23 17:15

$ echo fred | x:/gnu-win32/bin/sed 's/.*/xxx &/'
xxx fred
$ echo fred | x:/gnu-win32/bin-new/sed 's/.*/xxx &/'
//x/gnu-win32/bin-new/sed: Unterminated `s' command
$ echo fred | d:/user/local/bin/sed 's/.*/xxx &/'
//d/user/local/bin/sed: Unterminated `s' command
$
