It never crossed my mind. Anyway, I was told by someone else that GNU sed
3.0.2 does the job right. I don't have GNU sed installed on Solaris,
because one of the previous versions was utterly broken (I don't remember
which one), so I suspect there might be many Solaris instalations without
GNU sed.

However, there is another version of sed on Solaris in /usr/xpg4/bin/sed
and that one performs correctly. You might want to invoke it when
configuring on Solaris. I wish I could post a patch for this, but
autoconf art is beyond me.
