Solaris:
$ echo -n foo | sed y/o/O/  
sed: Missing newline at end of file standard input.
fOO
$

GNU:
$ echo -n foo | sed y/o/O/  
fOO$

GNU is clearly the right implementation, and it's what the regression
test says sed should do. I think sed should be fixed. (I can't do it
right now because I'm going climbing.)
