--- Begin Message ---Package: sed Version: 4.1.5-1 Severity: normal Sed seems to be unable to handle the program "/foo/i\\", interpreted as a C string (that is, the two last characters of the program are i and backslash; there's no newline). $ echo -e "bar\nfoo" | sed "/foo/i\\" bar <data> sed: couldn't write -1 items to stdout: Success (where <data> are characters with the high bit set) $ echo -e "bar\nfoo" | sed "/foo/i\\" | hd | less <the same; it turns out there's a lot of zeroes too> $ echo -e "bar\nfoo" | sed "/foo/i\\" > foo Segmentation fault Using longer input ("baz\nbar\nfoo") does the same for all test cases. However, a feeding sed a single line seems okay: $ echo -e "foo" | sed "/foo/i\\" sed: couldn't write -1 items to stdout: Success I'm guessing that with just a single line, there's something which has not yet been initialised; that would explain why there's no gibberish. Putting the script in a file and calling sed with -f seems to do the same thing as when just giving sed the script as an argument. Since sed has a test suite, once someone fixes this it would be good to include a test case for this to guard against regression. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages sed depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries sed recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
