Yep, someone else recently sent a report about such a sed version,
too. It is breaking our fragile minds; we ought to find some way to
deal with it, but we haven't yet.

Jonathan, thanks for your reply.
What about special casing the bad sed (or whitelisting good sed)?
Surely a hack, but would those of us with GNU or BSD would be happy.
Which was the troublesome sed?
That opposed to figuring out the problem, reading about unicode, and
re-cloning and re-filtering 5,000 commits. :-) Unfortunately, it
doesn't "die" well either; the 'export' shell var fails but it keeps
processing commits. (If I hadn't investigated and changed the LANG,
would I have lost those commits?)
Regards,
Richard
