Hi,
I noticed that sometimes -A sometimes does not result in the '--'
seperator and discussed it on #bash on irc.freenode.net. There
Yitzchok (yitz) explained me that '--' represents skipped lines. That
immedietely made sense to me. After a bit of pondering, yitz is
guessing that
"Places a line containing a group separator (--) between
contiguous groups of matches."
should be
"Places a line containing a group separator (--) between
non-contiguous groups of matches."
