Hi

Here is a sed bug:
echo "X"|sed "s/X/`jot -sx -bx 2048`/"

i.e.: it cannot substitute by a string bigger than 4096kB

Here is a fix:

                }
        } while (cu_fgets(p = lbuf, sizeof(lbuf)));
        err(COMPILE, "unterminated substitute in regular expression");
        /* NOTREACHED */


Is it okay to commit that? To pull-it up to 2.0 and 1.6?
