Hi!

----

Below is an issue with ast-open.2010-07-01 "sed" which _may_ be a
bug... could you please have a look at it ?

I posted the test case to the mailing list on July 29th. Olga did even reply to
the mail where I mentioned the test case. As she quoted the test case in the
mail she send on July 30th, it is obvious that you know about the case. You had
a chance to silently fix the problem before presenting a test binary
last friday.

Let me repeat it for you:

sed 'y%ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, /\\()"%abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz,------%'

sed: warning: redundant map: y%ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ,
/\\()"%abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz,------%
sed: string lengths differ: y%ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ,
/\\()"%abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz,------%

Both messages are of course wrong.


and btw: this is the first time you ask....

Jörg
