o Make sed not overwrite old backup files with no warning.
Perl for such things. The key difference to Perl is that a backup extension
*MUST* be specified, because on one hand it isn't recommended to have options
which optionally take a parameter, and on the other hand, it'd be slightly
unpleasent to implement proper handling for that.
The difference between this and the version posted to developers@ is that it
does handle multiple files in argv after the getopt(3) handling "correctly",
in that the inplace editing-specific code has been moved out to a function,
and that function is used beyond the first file in our linked list.
This option has been documented as FreeBSD-specific in the manpage.

specified, and then the first part of the pattern space is deleted, when
there are two or more input lines, as this results in subtraction of one from
an unsigned integral value of '0'. That bogus value is used in one case
for a loop (that will run far too many times in this case) and a function to
search for a value within a specified range of memory, however now the range
of memory is obscenely large and a segmentation fault will occur. This is
fixed by checking for and appropriately handling a nil pattern space as if
the specified search in memory failed, as indeed it obviously will with nil
pattern space.

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the

an ``a'' command that has an escaped newline on the
last line of the last script that we're processing.
This fixes exmh2/scripts/build when /etc/malloc.conf -> AJ
The fundamental problem with the original code is that it accesses
p[-2] which is one before the beginning of the input buffer for
empty lines. rev.1.6 just moved the problem from failures when
p[-2] happens to be '\\' to failures when it happens to be '\0'.
rev.1.5 was confused about the trailing newline and other things.
I went back to rev.1.5 and fixed it. The result is the same as
Keith Bostic's final version in PR 1356 except it loses more
gracefully for excessively long input lines.
newline must be part of the pattern space i.e. `echo a|sed -e P' must print
a

aa
This is consistent with gnu sed, SunOS, Ultrix (and probably others!)
