Hello,

Seems there are bugs in sed handling long lines. You can reproduce by:
1. generate file > 2GB - must be a single line.
2. sed -e s/xxx/yyy/ <file

reg_exp: INT_MAX overflow
This is indeed the intended behavior, as the regular-expression module
can't handle strings larger than 2GB.
This was reported in https://bugs.gnu.org/30520
and the error was added in
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/sed.git/commit/?id=5433dc245b222f6c98ab1436e170fd5e3e6e3907
If in the future gnulib's regex module is improved
to handle large buffers, we can revisit this issue and
remove the message.
As such I'm closing this as "not a bug", but discussion
can continue by replying to this thread.
