>Description:
i came across some oddities regarding nbsed on Solaris 9 which are
probably bugs.

1. pkgsrc/audio/libvorbis complains about a checksum-mismatch in file 
patch-ag. I tracked down the problem to the invocation of nbsed, which
removes the RCS tag of the patchfiles. nbsed running on Solaris inserts an
extra NUL byte. here is the diff of the output of a native sed running on
NetBSD and nbsed running on Solaris:
Solaris:
00000520  74 2e 68 74 6d 6c 20 00  76 6f 72 62 69 73 5f 69  |t.html .vorbis_i|
00000530  6e 66 6f 2e 68 74 6d 6c  20 09 76 6f 72 62 69 73  |nfo.html .vorbis|
NetBSD:
00000520  74 2e 68 74 6d 6c 20 76  6f 72 62 69 73 5f 69 6e  |t.html vorbis_in|
00000530  66 6f 2e 68 74 6d 6c 20  09 76 6f 72 62 69 73 66  |fo.html .vorbisf|

these are from the same nfs mount, so both seds really operate on the
same file.

2. pkgsrc/fonts/fontconfig fails at the end of the configure stage
on Solaris (but builds fine on NetBSD, again from the same NFS mount)
nbsed spits out some warnings during the config.status run:
33: ./confstat10070-21537/subs3-sed: bad flag in substitute command: '@'
causing configure to create empty Makefiles. I have double checked it is really nbsed getting called. After changing the pkgsrc wrapper-makfile to use gnu sed the package builds without errors.

my pkgsrc-tree is about three days old.
