sed under gnu-win32 seems to append a "\r\n" pair to all of its
output - even if the input did not have one.  Is this a bug?  Or is
this behavior required in order to work under win32?  The 'sed' in MKS
toolkit does the same thing, incidentally, but it does not happen on
real BSD systems.

-csw

bash$ echo -n "foo "
foo bash$ echo -n "foo " | cat
foo bash$ echo -n "foo " | sed 's/o/x/g'
fxx
bash$ echo -n foo | /mksnt/mksnt/sed 's/o/x/g' | od -c
0000000000     f   x   x  \r  \n
