sed 3.02 crashes mysteriously

[Sven Sandberg]

Hello,

When I run

   sed -f lat2html.sed tmp.html

(I attached an archive with lat2html.sed and tmp.html in), it crashes
with the following traceback:

I'm using the dos/djgpp version of sed 3.02 from sed3028b.zip from
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/mirror/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/ , under a
4dos box (4dos 5,52a; dos 7,10) under windows 98 second edition
(4.10.2222 A). It also happens under a regular dos box.

I also noted that it does not crash if I pipe the input file, i.e.

   sed -f lat2html.sed < tmp.html

and it does not crash if I rename lat2html.sed to l2.sed and run

   sed -f l2.sed tmp.html

Strange, huh? Let me know if there's anything more you want to know.
