Hi again,

I would like to mention that the committed patch for the trivial bugs
that I reported is not even complete: there are still two problematic
instructions literally one line above the one that did get fixed
correctly (and I actually find this mildly amusing, especially
considering the last paragraph of my first message).

Ah, so now you notice that there are even more incompatibilities between
this version and GNU sed where POSIX leaves the behaviour undefined;
would you also want to transform these cases into hard errors, then?
Please go right ahead, at least I am sure millert@ would like it.

I understand that you may be busy with many other things at once, but
rushing out absurd diffs like this one or committing half-baked patches
on top of less than half-baked patches is not a very efficient approach.
I am happy to wait until you find enough time for a proper evaluation of
the issue at stake; this is not a race.
