I came across a problem with the distributed 386BSD sed. When using
the N command it would delete following lines in the output. I
didn't bother tracking down the bug, I just got sed-1.13 which
works ok. The distributed version is 1.08.
I'd suggest upgrading since you never know when a script will use this
command. It was a config script from a package I was installing that
highlighted the problem.
