===== The Solaris `sed' doesn't flush the last data line if that line isn't terminated with a NEWLINE. The problem surfaces in the "po" directory and the problem code is in the "Rules-quot" file where `msgfilter' passes some un-newline terminated data to a `sed' invocation (see my quick and dirty patch below). If you have access to a Solaris box, you can duplicate the problem effects with
> sh -c 'echo "xxx\c" | sed -e "s,^,,"' <== bad > The GNU sed works correctly. > sh -c 'echo "xxx\c" | gsed -e "s,^,,"' <== good xxx> If the Solaris `sed' is used, a `gmake dist' invocation aborts and, even if it didn't, the output from the code line below generates incorrect <msgstr ""> and <msgstr "\n"> values for a number of the lines in the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" files.
