>Description:
textproc/nbsed prints random garbage if the last line in the file is not terminated with \n.

>How-To-Repeat:
bash-2.05$ echo -n foo > bar
bash-2.05$ nbsed /baz/d bar| od -c

bash-2.05$ sed /baz/d bar| od -c

bash-2.05$ 
bash-2.05$ od -c bar

bash-2.05$ gsed /baz/d bar| od -c

Gratuitous comparison with the almost as broken Solaris sed is at the end here.
>Fix:
I don't have time to look at the source, but had a go at p the following in mk.conf as a workaround
