Here is a patch to sed to fix the following problem. I've half-noticed it
before, but Bruce Evans managed to pin it down to give wierd example.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
File: sed.c
Problem: The following sed invocation fails:
echo a | sed -e 's/a/aa/g' -e ':dummy'
producing:
aaaa
But the following works!
echo a | sed -e 's/a/aa/g;:dummy'
echo a | sed -e 's/a/aa/g'
Fix: cmdline() failed to clear the input buffer so the s-command
gets compiled twice.

Encoded patch follows:
