Echo | sed behaves strangely?

[Andy_Lord@tertio.com]

The following commands seem to give the wrong output

bash$ echo x  | sed 's/[^^/]*/yz/g'
yzyz

It should just be yz? (I checked on a SunOs box)
The word count for 'echo x' is correct (I thought
it might be some kind of EOL mangling).
bash$ echo x | wc
      1       1       2

What's happening? Anyone?

many rgds,
Andy L.
