them are related to the `c' function's need to know if we are at
the actual end of the address range. (It must print the text not
earlier than the whole pattern space was deleted.) It appears the
only sed function with this requirement.
There is `lastaddr' set by applies(), which is to notify the `c'
function, but it can't always help because it's false when we are
hitting the end of file early. There is also a bug in applies()
due to which `lastaddr' isn't set to true on degenerate ranges such
as `$,$' or `N,$' if N appears the last line number.
Handling early EOF condition in applies() could look more logical,
but it would effectively revert sed to the unreasonable behaviour
rev. 1.26 of main.c fought against, as it would require lastline()
be called for each line within each address range. So it's better
to call lastline() only if needed by the `c' function.
Together with this change to sed go regression tests for the bugs
fixed (c1-c3). A basic test of `c' (c0) is also added as it helped
me to spot my own error.

When sed is asked to inline-edit files, it forgets to close the temporary
file and runs out of descriptors for long command lines (assuming you reset
kern.maxfilesperproc to something sane that's less than the number of files
passed to sed).

regular expression as the first argument to a substitute command. If
used to test a sed which (erroneously) evaluates this at translation
time rather than at execution time, the bugged sed is put into an
infinite loop. This mode of failure seems excessive. Such a failing
sed is the Free Software Foundation's sed 3.02.
The specific test was also not being executed for the BSD sed.
Both problems are now fixed.

There are two bugs: in the s///g case, the substitution didn't occur
at the end of the line; in the s///N case, the code didn't count
forwards along the line properly. See the sg, s3, s4, and s5 tests
in src/tools/regression/usr.bin/sed/.

This does not change the way sed processes regular files, but makes it behave
more sensibly when used interactively.

- original version of code worked incorrectly when more than one

to be the first line of the 2nd, last line of the 2nd to be the first
line of the 3rd and so on;
- use mmap()->write() to create temporary file instead of
malloc()->read()->write(), which was not only slower, but also did not
bother to free allocated memory once backup file was created, potentially

number of small ones.

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.

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.

Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
