Re: GNU sed version 4.2.1: on OS X, C locale gets aliased to UTF-8

[Max Horn]

Hi there,

so, any news on this? Seems every time I restart this thread (my email from 
September 6 was the third restart, the original thread was not started by me), 
it dies down after 2-3 mails :-(.

So, I hope that one of the two proposed fixes can be included for now. If Bruno 
or somebody else has objections, they had 3 months time to voice them, after 
all, and even if they still have some, then it shouldn't be a major issue to 
adjust the code later on. Right?


Cheers,
Max
