The sed testsuite was only recently converted from the old format to the new,
and it's only testing about 1/3 of the sed command set (even the stuff it
does test: it tests "s//" but not "s//g", or how about backrefs?). Let alone
all the funky the corner cases I have notes on. I do intend to fix all that,
but it's a big job, and probably won't happen this week. :)
That said, the tests that are there do bring out 2 or 3 bugs in our
implementation, which I also plan to fix. Feel free to bug me about it if
you care, and I'll try to move it up my todo list. :)
Right now, I need to close out the bugs.busybox.net list for sed and put out a
-pre2. The release happens new years, and it would be nice to have all the
known bugs squashed by then. (Yes, including the sed ones...)
But _right_ now, I have lots of non-busybox things I need to do...
