    usr.bin/sed/TEST     sed.test 
  Log:
  Test 8.16 in sed.test tests the ability of a sed to handle an empty
  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.
