Package: sed
Version: 4.2.1-9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Output the script in 'info sed "Centering lines"' to a file:.

    % info sed "Centering lines" 2> /dev/null | \
    sed -n '/#/,35p' | sed 's/^     //' > /tmp/sedcenter
    % chmod +x /tmp/sedcenter

The script fails:

    % echo hello | /tmp/sedcenter 
    /bin/sed: file /tmp/sedcenter line 12: strings for `y' command are 
different lengths

Line #12:

    %grep -n 'y/' /tmp/sedcenter 
    12:y/tab/ /

It looks as though #12 should behave as "tr '\t' ' '", but line #12 
doesn't seem to work for the current version of 'sed'.  
This would work:

    s/\t/ /g

I'd include a patch, but it's not obvious whether the code in line #12
is wrong, or if 'sed' should be able to run it.

HTH...
